LET’S TELL YOU MORE

We have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Environmental Analyst within our Asset Planning Infiltration team.

This role will be based at our head office in Coventry, with occasional travel to our Derby office, you’ll work 37 hours per week Monday-Friday. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in developing and embedding our infiltration approach from the ground up.

You’ll help us better understand the factors affecting wastewater network performance and environmental risk across our region using a combination of analytical, spatial and environmental datasets to understand catchment behaviour and identify opportunities to improve wastewater network performance.

You’ll investigate trends, identify potential causes of performance issues and develop evidence-based insights that support business decisions. Working closely with the Senior Analyst, you will support on a wide variety of analytical activities from monitoring of the network to helping develop enhanced and predictive models, as well as creating dashboards that inform multi-million-pound investment decisions.

Key accountabilities include:

  • Analysis and interpretation of environmental, operational and asset data to identify trends and opportunities.
  • Support investigations into wastewater network performance, infiltration and catchment behaviour.
  • Develop clear, evidence-based insights and recommendations to support decision making.
  • Help improve analytical approaches, tools and methodologies across the team.

This role isn't just about analysing data. You'll be responsible for turning complex network and performance data into meaningful insights and dashboards that help teams make decisions, prioritise investment, and demonstrate the benefits of infiltration reduction work.


WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’re looking for a naturally curious and analytical individual who enjoys investigating environmental and operational problems, interpreting complex datasets and developing evidence-based solutions.

Experience with, or a willingness to develop skills in, tools such as GIS, Python, R and Power BI is important.
