Ofwat has launched a recruitment drive for water engineers and scientists to fill multiple roles in two of the regulator's work clusters: Company Performance and Price Reviews; or Policy and Outcomes.
The Company Performance and Price Reviews cluster is responsible for developing the approach for future price reviews including the next price review in 2024 (PR24). The roles have the opportunity to help shape the design of PR24.
The focus of the Policy and Outcomes cluster is on developing and implementing regulatory policy, driving improvement to support Ofwat’s strategic goals for the sector and deliver the best outcomes for customers and the environment. The roles sit in Environment Team support - part of the wider Environment, Public Value and Governance team which forms part of the Policy and Outcomes cluster, one of the seven clusters around which Ofwat’s work is structured internally.
The water sector regulator is seeking a number of experienced water sector engineers or scientists - both Senior Associate and Principal level candidates.
Within the Company Performance and Price Reviews cluster Ofwat has multiple roles at Principal and Senior Associate engineer grades. In particular the regulator is looking for:
- one or more Principal engineers with considerable wastewater experience
- one or more Senior Associate engineers with wastewater experience
- a Principal engineer with considerable drinking water experience
The roles, which are split across many areas, will involve applying and using engineering experience and problem solving skills to progress Ofwat’s work as a regulator.
For the Policy and Outcomes cluster, Ofwat is looking for one principal engineer, with considerable wastewater experience to support the water quality work of the Environment Team. The role will require a general and wide understanding of environmental issues in wastewater. In addition, knowledge of net zero / greenhouse gas reductions from an engineering perspective would be an advantage, although not essential.
