From offering training to develop your skills, respecting who you are as an individual, to offering a profession with purpose, we are committed to ensuring our Resourcers are fulfilled at every stage of their career.
Our Purpose is our compass — it underpins our values and drives our ambition. If you see the world as we do then a sustainable career at Veolia Water Technologies could be for you. Are you thinking of becoming a Resourcer but need a little more insight into life at Veolia.
Here are the top six reasons you should join our team.
1. We are committed to ecological transformation
We care about water and about people who use it, and we are looking for like-minded people who want to make the world a more sustainable place, whatever the role or function.
From solving severe water shortages in Lebanon to cleaning up Agent Orange residue in Vietnam, and developing sustainable aquaculture solutions to feed our growing population, we work to promote, support and enable ecological transformation to build a better world every day.
We are a major contributor to 11 of the 17 United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and will continue to contribute to all SDGs wherever water is concerned.
2. We care for our people
We value our team and recognize our Resourcers are fundamental to our success. As a result, in September 2023, we implemented an unprecedented social protection program worldwide called Veolia Cares which aims to guarantee a common base level of social protection for all Resourcers — including parental leave, health cover, death benefits, support for carers and a volunteer's day — even in countries where there are no such legal requirements.
Veolia Cares was born from the belief that our Resourcers are our greatest asset and that only through the strength, solidarity and inclusivity of our team will we be able to tackle the challenges of ecological transformation.

3. We are committed to skill development
Our Resourcers are our first asset. We care about making sure they get the best experience possible by supporting their professional development through training and internal mobility. We are also convinced that to give their best, they need a healthy work-life balance and overall wellbeing. A part of this is our So’Sport community, focused on keeping fit and for more than 18 years we have taken part in the World Company Sport Games.
