Join Ofwat's Risk and Return Team as a Financial Economist, Principal Debt Specialist. We have 1 Fixed Term contract until the end of December 2027 available, but it is also open to loans and secondments. Office Location: London (E14 4HD) or Birmingham (B5 4UA) with hybrid working About Us We're Ofwat, the Water Services Regulation Authority - a non-ministerial government department responsible for regulating the water sector in England and Wales. As the economic regulator of water and wastewater companies in England and Wales, our role is to enable, incentivise and hold companies to account for providing the very best for customers, communities and the environment. We also oversee the markets in the water sector to ensure they're working for customers. 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. The Role We are seeking an experienced Financial Economist or Corporate Finance Debt Specialist to join our Risk & Return team within the Price Review Directorate. This role will play an important role in determining our methodology governing the allowed return on capital for PR29, which currently accounts for around a quarter of the average customer bill. Key deliverables In this role you will be expected to: Plan and prioritise your time - working to team-level and directorate-level milestones, and where new developments may require a change of course. Interpret and summarise financial data, arguments and analysis - for instance from company consultant reports and papers they reference. Curate data capture processes - maintain and respond to queries on the tables within data returns provided by companies on debt instruments. Conduct and commission financial analysis - for instance drawing on granular bond data to estimate cost of debt benchmarks to set the allowed cost of debt. Draft slide packs and documents - for instance drafting a discussion paper to inform a cost of debt workshop or consultation, or a slidepack for a discussion that helps Ofwat Board to decide whether to sign-off on a cost of debt policy proposal. Verbally present findings - for instance briefing the team's Director on the key findings of review work or analysis. Develop and interrogate Excel-based models - while not primarily a modelling role, it will likely involve some scrutiny of non-Ofwat models and may involve having a hand in developing in-house models to support our policy areas. Oversee junior staff time - the role is likely to involve managing the time of 1 junior colleague, and potentially more during peak periods (e.g. a graduate). Build relationships - in particular with other Risk & Return team members, and other Ofwat teams where there is thematic overlap, and external stakeholders such as counterparts in other regulators. Develop skills - to build on your existing base of financial knowledge and skills through taking on structured or unstructured learning opportunities. About You Below are some of the key essential experience, skills & knowledge required for this post: Lead criterion: Experience in applying financial economics and/or corporate finance to the analysis of debt pricing. Advanced understanding of financial economics and/or corporate finance theory related to the cost of debt. Undergraduate (or higher) degree in economics or a numerate discipline (e.g. STEM subjects, Accountancy, etc.). Good written and oral communication skills, including the ability to understand and concisely explain complex issues in non-technical language. Why You Should Join Us: People Centric: Our people are at the heart of Ofwat and everything we do - we ensure all voices are heard and treat each other with respect; you'll be given the autonomy and the support to do your role in the best way. Innovative Work Environment: We embrace agile and new ways of working and have a culture build on trust, flexibility, and collaboration. Development Opportunities: Gain valuable experience and develop your skills in a supportive and dynamic setting. Work-Life Balance: Enjoy the flexibility of working from home combined with the benefits of in person collaboration in our Birmingham offices. Good employer pension contributions 25 days' annual leave, increasing to 30 with each year of service, plus bank holidays and an extra 2.5 days of privilege leave. Access to exclusive discounts on a variety of goods and services, including retail outlets, theatre tickets, holidays, insurance, and a gym membership.

Principal Ecological Consultant (Senior or Associate would work as well) Ideally London, Bristol or Warrington 40-65k depending on level and experience A leading UK-based independent environmental consultancy, underpinned by a growing team of experts in environmental policy, strategy, design, and assessment are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Senior, Principal or Associate Director Ecologist to work as part of our team of around 18 ecological specialists based in the UK. This is a new and exciting role offering the opportunity to play a key part in the delivery of large-scale ecological projects across the UK. The role and title will be tailored to the experience and strengths of the successful candidate, from Senior Ecologist through to Associate Director level position which is ideally suited to an experienced ecologist with a strong background in managing and technically delivering complex projects, particularly within the DCO and NSIP sector, including onshore wind, ground mounted solar, and major residential or commercial developments. The role will be primarily focused on project management and technical delivery, with responsibility for overseeing ecological inputs from feasibility through to consent. While field survey work will form part of the role, it is anticipated that this will not be a significant or routine component, and the emphasis will instead be on coordination, review, interpretation and reporting of survey data and project delivery. You will lead and manage ecological projects and workstreams, liaising closely with clients, planning consultants, engineers, landscape architects and sub-consultants. Responsibilities will include programme and budget management, technical leadership, quality assurance of outputs, and contribution to fee proposals and tenders. You will be expected to author, review and sign off technical reports, with a particular focus on Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) assessments. Experience in Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) and/or DCO documentation would be highly desirable. Although not field-focused, you should retain the capability to undertake and oversee ecological surveys where required, including UKHab habitat surveys and preferably one or more protected species disciplines. Strong ornithological and/or botanical skills would be advantageous, particularly in the context of large infrastructure and renewable energy projects. We believe that environmental consultancy should place ecology at the heart of development design. You will therefore be expected to think strategically and creatively, working collaboratively with landscape designers and other disciplines to embed ecological mitigation, enhancement and compensation measures into development proposals. This will include shaping solutions that meet Biodiversity Net Gain requirements while also contributing to wider green infrastructure objectives, such as flood risk reduction, climate resilience and air quality improvements. This is an exceptional opportunity to join the business at an exciting stage of growth. You will be a core member of the team, playing a key role in shaping and delivering our ecological work. We offer a friendly and supportive working environment, with one-to-one mentoring and professional development from experienced colleagues, alongside access to external training where required. As an independent environmental consultancy we are very non-corporate with a very flexible approach to how we operate. We believe in the person fit first and are keen to fit the role to the person rather than change what attracted us to you. Skills and experience we are looking for Essential: Substantial experience within an ecological consultancy, with a proven track record of working on medium to large-scale or complex projects, such as DCO/NSIP schemes, onshore wind, ground mounted solar, or major residential or commercial developments. Ability to operate effectively at Senior to Associate Director level, taking responsibility for the technical delivery and day-to-day management of ecological projects or workstreams. Strong understanding of the UK planning system and environmental assessment process, including leading or significantly contributing to Ecological Impact Assessments (EcIA) and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) assessments. Experience of managing ecological inputs to projects, including coordinating survey programmes, reviewing technical outputs, and ensuring work is delivered to programme, budget and quality expectations. Sound working knowledge of UKHab methodology and protected species surveys, with the ability to oversee, interpret and quality-assure survey work, and to undertake field surveys where required. Willingness and ability to undertake occasional site-based surveys or monitoring, recognising that fieldwork will form a relatively small part of the role. Strong understanding of UK wildlife legislation and its practical application to development-led projects. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, proportionate and defensible reports, and to communicate confidently with clients and project teams. Experience of working collaboratively within multi-disciplinary teams, including planners, engineers, landscape architects and other specialists. Competence in the use of GIS and mapping tools to support reporting and project delivery. High level of proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel. Degree (BSc or higher) in ecology or a related environmental discipline. Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle. A proactive and solutions-focused approach to ecological mitigation, enhancement and design, with an interest in integrating biodiversity and wider green infrastructure benefits into development proposals. Desirable Direct experience of DCO/NSIP projects, particularly within the renewable energy or major infrastructure sectors. Experience of Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA), including screening and appropriate assessment. Demonstrable client-facing experience, including acting as a key point of contact and engaging with planners, legal teams and statutory consultees. Experience of preparing or contributing to fee proposals, tenders and scopes of work. Experience of mentoring or supporting junior staff, and contributing to team development. One or more protected species survey licences. Botanical and/or ornithological expertise, particularly relevant to large-scale developments. FISC or River Condition Assessment training (or willingness to obtain). Membership of CIEEM (Associate, Full or Chartered)
