About Us
Harris Watson is a privately owned business formed in 1989 by John Harris and Sue Watson who have extensive financial expertise in acquiring and turning around underperforming businesses, we now have an extensive portfolio of high performing businesses. With a dozen companies averaging 100 on the payroll, we're big enough to give you variety of choice and security of future but small enough for you to matter from the start. With a choice of companies and specialisms we offer bright and talented graduates a training program and then the opportunity to work in one of our many high performing businesses. With UK businesses in Bath, Poole and Worcester, our Head office in Birmingham and overseas operations in countries such as the USA, Hong Kong, Germany, China and Brazil, we also offer the opportunity to travel and develop your career overseas.

Why do we need bright brains? Our companies have been in business a long time, so our ways need to be challenged. We often lead the field, so we need innovation to keep us there. We prefer engineers as they have enquiring minds, are creative and resourceful, think in systems and structures, are great project managers, problem solvers and implementers, and we'd like to get you at the start of your career while you're still full of questions.

Currently Recruiting
If you're the bright brain we're looking for, you will join us on a graduate training program, and then move into a placement with one of our companies, and have the scope to move to other companies within the group over time to find you own individual niche.

As well as our engineering companies, one of our businesses, Waterlinks Investments, owns Lyle & Scott, Tulchan Textiles and Hawick Knitwear, and services their systems and IT needs through a fourth company – Q2Q. All of these businesses are small enough for your contribution to really from the start. What's more none of them are perfect so there are plenty of problems to get stuck into. So we're now on the hunt for highly motivated, bright and intelligent graduates from engineering (electrical or software) to join our team.

Security of future? We don't guarantee employment but we do guarantee employability. The work you'll do and the training we provide will make you attractive to other employers. We think that feeling able to leave makes it more likely you'll stay, and keep challenging us. If you think you have something to offer we'd love to hear from you, apply now for one of our many graduate trainee roles.
