Danni Mooney from Crumlin is a Scientific Apprentice with NI Water. Danni said:
“I was attracted to apply to the Apprenticeship Programme at NI Water because I wanted to develop a practical skill set in a rewarding and dynamic environment. I realised I was eager to pursue a career that would allow me to grow professionally while contributing to a meaningful organization like NI Water, which plays a crucial role in supporting the community and the environment.
“The Apprenticeship Programme offered an excellent opportunity to build on my existing strengths while learning new technical skills.
“My journey into NI Water started when I discovered the Apprenticeship Programme and recognized it as a great fit for my ambitions. I was impressed by NI Water's commitment to developing talent and providing hands-on learning.
“My experience at NI Water has been very positive so far. The induction process was informative and welcoming, and it helped me understand the company's culture and values, as well as how different teams work together. The support I've received from my colleagues and mentors has been exceptional, with everyone being very approachable and willing to offer guidance as I get up to speed. I believe the 6-week bootcamp is the best way to join the company as not only do you get to make friends for life, you get to see all aspects of the company, so you are not thrown into the deep end at the start.
“I couldn’t recommend NI Water to anyone enough and think everyone in the company would have to agree. Every single staff member is always so welcoming and ready to teach and there is never a “stupid” question. At NI Water you offered a structured learning pathway, hands on learning, career opportunities, job security, a competitive salary and benefits and as I previously mentioned a supportive learning environment.”

“My experience within Northern Ireland Water has been amazing, I definitely made the correct choice for me.
“The introduction / bootcamp was very informative and covered all the parts I needed before going out to frontline, the coursework aspect reflects on what information is needed to carry out daily tasks, which benefits my day to day working. When carrying out coursework I always had support from my manager and merit skills, also the other apprentices were very helpful if I ever needed information.
“I would recommend Northern Ireland Water to anyone looking for an apprenticeship, firstly the earning while you learn is a great factor as you get a qualification and a full time job without the student loans, secondly it is a great way to meet new people and gain friendships, if anyone was considering joining the company I would say 100% do it. I really do feel this has been the best choice for me and I’m very happy working within the business.”
