In your new role, you’ll be responsible for delivering the improvement programme for our Environmental outcome, while delivering in alignment with our Environmental ambition, joining and aligning delivery across water and waste achieving strong results against our key regulatory ODI’s and KPI (EA) measures across the spectrum of our environment activities.

Some of your other key accountabilities will include:

  • Providing operational teams the power of regulatory insight in a holistic way in a clear centralised area.
  • Taking learnings from improvements with our relationship with the Drinking Water Inspectorate, considering different metrics, and applying this to the environment teams, as this develops learning can also be applied back to clean water teams.

We’re seeking our new Regulatory Improvement Manager to be comfortable identifying and managing the key strategic risks and issues facing the programme.

 

To be successful, it’s expected that you’ll have a strong regulatory background, in addition to strong analytical skills with the ability to communicate with people of levels, including regulators.

The right skills and experience are important. But if you have the right character, positivity, and a caring attitude we want to talk to you too.

 

We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities. We want people who show up and get involved. Those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care. Is that you?
