Hear what current employees are saying about Veolia WTS ~

“One of the reasons I like working for Veolia WTS is the “resource revolution”. It is a good thing to work for a company that contributes to environmental stewardship.  Training is another reason working for Veolia WTS is beneficial. And, the people. Lots of people that are willing to assist.  ~Stephen

“When I first got hired on what I loved was the sheer amount there is to learn. Also, at least in BOO we have a very flexible schedule. This is a career, and there is more than one way to succeed and move forward. If you're someone who wants to get challenged to learn, and work around people who are knowledgeable in their craft then this is the place for you.”  ~Daniel

“I like making my own schedule (for the most part) and not working a 9-5 M-F job in an office.  I like the travel part and getting hotel points and eating at restaurants in places like you see on TV.  I also have a company truck, which is nice.  I also like the challenges and that nothing is redundant… no 2 days are the same, ever.  I learn something new every day.  Oh, and the people (most of them) are cool to work with.” ~Gina

If you can demonstrate your extraordinary successes in the areas above, then we would love to hear from you!
