Description
Are you a bright graduate about to take that important first step in your career? And are you looking for an opportunity in which you can build your skillset, contribute to key projects for the business, and gain experience in the publishing industry? Or perhaps you are a current student who is seeking summer work.
Area of Responsibilities
Responsibilities
As an intern working on the Desalination and Reuse Handbook or the Tariff Survey, you’ll gain experience in online publishing and hone your skills in data management, clerical work and research. You will also have the opportunity to learn about the wider world of publishing and the water industry while making an important contribution towards the development of high-value publications which have international visibility.
With the support and mentorship of your manager, interns will gain first-hand experience in primary data collection and data input. If you work on the Desalination and Reuse Handbook, you’ll join a team to collect references from water companies around the world, through both email correspondence and telephone calls. In working on the Tariff Survey, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate within your team to collect water tariff data from water utilities, utilising desktop research, email correspondence and telephone calls. During the interview, our hiring managers will introduce you to the projects in more detail and take into account your preferences when making offers.
