In 2025 the Uisce Éireann Transformation Programme team met with colleagues 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 outlined a clear picture of the new national structure for Asset Operations and what it means for their local water services area. Colleagues were also able to gain insight into new Ways of Working, what training is available to them and were offered a one-to-one consultation with a member of the HR team. For those considering a move to Uisce Éireann, these engagements offered a chance to begin the transfer process and take the next step in their career within our growing, national organisation. We will communicate with teams locally to confirm any upcoming dates.

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. You can register by clicking here or by calling us on (01) 237 2966. Alternatively, you can download the PDF form, fill out the details and email to LAstaffqueries@water.ie.

These meetings are being held locally and virtually via Zoom in each Local Authority area. Once you submit your Request for Information, we send you an email requesting you to compile your Details of Employment with the Local Authority, i.e. your current salary, grade, overtime, allowances, and all existing agreements in place with your employer. Only information provided by you will be used for the discussion.

We will be able to provide a comparison between the Uisce Éireann pay model and the mirrored LA pay model based on the information you supply. An Uisce Éireann HR representative will then go through all your information with you and confirm the guarantees in relation to your existing terms and conditions, as well as answer any individual questions you may have in relation to transferring to Uisce Éireann.

Following on from this meeting, you can confirm your intention to transfer to Uisce Éireann and we will follow up with formal contract information. You can also decide not to join at this time and consider all your options further before deciding to transfer later. All staff in water services will have the option to join Uisce Éireann up to the end of 2026.
