Support data visualisation and BI dashboard development to inform decision-making
Align short-term investment with long-term wastewater system goals

You'll be based at our Head Office in Coventry. You’ll work within our Asset Strategy Team. With this being such a critical role, we’re looking for someone who can join us 37 hours a week, WFH flexibility available and travel to other sites will be required at times so you’ll need to hold a full U.K driving licence.
