The water sector is entering a new chapter. Following the Independent Water Commission's Final Report and subsequent White Paper - 'New Vision for Water', the UK government has set out a bold new direction - one that brings together expertise from across the sector to deliver better outcomes for customers and the environment. Ofwat is working in collaboration with the government and other regulators to help establish a new body for England, combining our strengths with those of the Drinking Water Inspectorate, the Environment Agency, and Natural England. We're also continuing to engage with the Welsh Government to support future decisions for Wales. While these changes take shape, our mission remains the same: to hold water companies to account, drive performance, and ensure the sector delivers real value for customers, communities, and the environment.

You will be comfortable representing Ofwat and communicating evidence to a wide range of environmental stakeholders, including government officials, water companies and eNGOs.

About You Below are some of the key essential experience, skills & knowledge required for this post: Relevant experience working on water quality issues, gained through policy, regulatory or scientific roles. Demonstrated understanding of the water industry regulatory landscape, including areas such as environmental regulation and legislation, public health, bathing waters, water quality monitoring, and pollution.

Experience of working on a programme of analysis and evidence gathering to support robust decision making and influence policy outcomes. Experience of working flexibly and collaboratively with multi-disciplinary teams to apply policy expertise, develop solutions, and deliver joined-up strategic thinking.
