Are you a bright graduate about to take that important first step in your career? And are you looking for an opportunity in which you can build your skillset, contribute to key projects for the business, and gain experience in the publishing industry? Or perhaps you are a current student who is seeking summer work.

Oxford-based publishing company
Global Water Intelligence (GWI) is looking for paid interns to join us over the summer to help collect, process, and publish data for two to three key projects: the
Desalination and Reuse Handbook, the
Tariff Survey and
Corporate Water Leaders.

GWI specialises in publishing high-level business intelligence for the water industry, and our clients and partners include McKinsey, WaterAid and the European Commission.

As an intern working on our key annual projects, you'll gain experience in online publishing and hone your skills in data management, clerical work, and research.

You will also have the opportunity to learn about the wider world of publishing and the water industry while making an important contribution towards the development of high-value publications which have international visibility.

With the support and mentorship of your manager, interns will gain first-hand experience in primary data collection and data input.

There may also be the opportunity for one of our interns to support the communications and research efforts of our
Corporate Water Leaders initiative, which brings together industrial water users to collaborate on approaches to shared challenges. This will involve communicating with sustainability leaders at major companies, researching corporate water reporting and targetsetting initiatives and supporting the publication of reports.

You will work on these projects simultaneously, providing you with a variety of experiences.

You don't need previous experience of the international water industry to apply: if you think you have the skills below, we'll teach you everything you need to know

Required:

A confident telephone manner.
Committed, persistent and proactive approach to work.
Great attention to detail.
A basic grasp of Microsoft Excel.

Desirable:

An interest in water issues and/or business.
An interest in data collection and data management.
Applicants with a particular interest in production should indicate this in their cover letter, as there is the opportunity for an intern to work with our production team towards the latter stages of the Handbook. If you are interested in this option, basic experience with production software such as Adobe InDesign and Illustrator would be desirable.

Applicants should be available to work from late April/early May to late August, on a full-time basis. Both graduates seeking short-term work and current students seeking summer work are encouraged to apply.
