Uisce Éireann is actively rolling out new ways of working that will transform how we deliver water services across the country. By standardising processes and adopting best practices nationwide, we are creating a more consistent, efficient, and effective approach to our work. These improvements will not only streamline operations and enhance service delivery but will also provide greater clarity and support for our teams, ensuring a safer and more structured working environment. As these changes take root, staff will benefit from improved resources, training, and career development opportunities, while communities will experience a more reliable and high-quality water and customer service. This transformation is a key step towards building a stronger, more unified Uisce Éireann - One that empowers its people and serves the public with excellence.

Over the coming months, the Uisce Éireann Transformation Programme team will be out and about meeting staff across the country to provide updates on our transformation journey - What’s happening now and what’s planned for the rest of the Framework period. These sessions will give staff a clear picture of the new national structure for Asset Operations and what it means for their local water services area. Colleagues will also gain insight into the New Ways of Working we are proposing, and learn when training will be available. Colleagues will also have the opportunity to ask questions. For those considering a move to Uisce Éireann, these engagements will offer a chance to begin the transfer process and take the next step in their career within our growing, national organisation.

All staff have the option to submit a request for further information on transferring to Uisce Éireann. This will allow us to confirm the full schedule of face-to-face meetings across the country.
