Our Work

We are involved in a wide range of work to ensure Britain's inland waterways are looked after now and for many years to come.

Very importantly we work hard to make sure that the public has attractive, safe and accessible waterways to visit and enjoy. We also ensure our waterways are kept in a good condition for our many boating customers.

Our biggest work commitment is to maintain and improve our waterways, whilst providing good customer service. We use our assets to maximise our revenue through some innovative commercial ventures, as Government grants alone do not cover the cost of running British Waterways.

We also have the usual functions that you'd expect to find in a large public-facing organisation including marketing, engineering, finance, HR, Legal and ICT. Click on the Work for Us section to find current vacancies within British Waterways.
