Job Opportunities

 

Careers in bottled water sales are readily on tap! While some are drinking it out of a need for convenient packaging, others have valid concerns about the safety of local water supplies. Either way sales figures are very good for many bottled water companies.

 

Brand names like Aquafina and Dasani are industry leaders who employ great numbers of people. This is for good reason since the parent companies behind these industry leaders are Coca Cola and Pepsi. Selling beverages is old hat to these soft drink giants who have only recently entered this niche market.

 

There’s nothing new about the concept. Careers and businesses have been built around the sale of spring water and mineral water for over a century. Most are familiar with such brands as Perrier with its naturally occurring carbonation. This French import has been exported from France to locations around the globe for generations.

 

If you look around you’ll see that there are a great number of companies hiring in this highly liquid industry! Whether you are interested in water purification, collection, marketing or just distribution there’s a spot for you out there.
