Working closely with site management as well as the HSQE team has allowed me to further the skills required to become a successful HSQE advisor. I have gotten to experience all sides of the projects from the civil engineering aspect, mechanical engineering aspects, and the operating of Water treatment plants. Site management and the HSQE team have been very supportive and helped me progress in the last 4 months. I work alongside a wonderful team that I enjoy working on projects with and I could not recommend Glanua enough for any graduate starting out!

My work placement with Glanua has been hugely beneficial in providing me with a wide variety of experience in both the water and wastewater industries and developing the skills required to further my career as a HSQE professional. I was fortunate to work with an extremely helpful and welcoming team within the company whom were more than accommodating with all aspects of my learning and also with my college requirements. I would recommend Glanua to any student or graduate who is looking to join a close-knit team in an exciting and rapidly advancing industry.
