I applied in-person. I interviewed at Southern Water (Chatham, England) in Jan 2026
Interview
The interview was quite long, over 1 hour but the interviewers were two friendly managers. They asked a mix of competency and technical questions around the role of asset integration.
Initial telephone interview/screening with a recruiter. Then a teams interview with the hiring manager, and finally an in person interview where I was asked to give a presentation to the hiring manager and HR.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard interview questions around leadership styles, experience and relevant questions around ability for the role.
Well communicated and the feedback I received was personalised as to why they weren't continuing with my application which I appreciated them taking the time to write.
The spoke a lot about the company mission and seemed to be transparent about the fact that they have a bad reputation as a business and what they are trying to accomplish to change that
