      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at American Water (Milton, PA) in Jan 2019

      Interview

      Simple interview process. They went over the work duties and shift. Asked behavioral based question and also some technical techniques. Interviewed with two people and wasn’t difficult. Pretty laid back.
