Asset Manager

Did you know the length of Severn Trent’s & Hafren Dyfrdwy’s water main pipes would wrap around the world just over once? Well, now you do.

 

It’s a big network, and a big responsibility. Every day 8 million rely on us to bring them clean water at the turn of a tap and take away their waste in one flush.

 

From planning, to digging, to inspecting we welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality. We know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our customers and the communities where they live. If you want to do more because you care, we’d love to talk to you. There really is something for everyone here. 

 

 

 

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW  

 

In Bioresources we are market leaders in the Water Industry for the services we provide. Key to all of this is maintaining the quality of our Asset base to ensure that we can maximise Renewable Energy Generation and ensure the highest quality of compliant Biosolids for sale to farmers. We have 22 sites processing sewage sludge to these brilliant outputs and the role of the Asset manager is to ensure that we are investing every pound of our customers money in the most effective way.

 

The Asset Manager role creates and embeds a proactive approach to asset management in Bioresources that enables us to balance risk and investment whilst continuing to deliver on our promises to customers, employees and stakeholders. Working closely with our Operations and Strategy teams, the Asset Manager is expected to understand and improve the way we manage and maintain our assets.

 

The Bioresources Asset Manager will support the Bioresources operations team with its key accountabilities:

  • Understand the availability, health and performance capability of our Assets
  • Ensure optimal maintenance and investment decisions around the whole life of our assets
  • Develop and embed a risk-based asset management/‘health’ framework that uses deterioration modelling to help prevent asset failure and the consequential investment required
  • Ensure that our operational teams are getting the best service from our supply chain and contract partners.
  • Develop resilience plans that mitigate and learn from incidents, and build our people capability in the operation of a calm network
  • Share best practice from the wider Business to ensure Bioresources integration with the core wholesale business processes.

 

Specifically, the role’s objective is to understand, oversee and manage the lifecycle of our bioresources asset base across the estate and use this to inform TOTEX investment planning.

 

 

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE 

 

The Asset Manager role is a technical expert role that is focussed on the Asset Management life cycle and its contribution to:

  • improving performance against our ODI targets and Environmental drivers,
  • ensuring we have capacity and resilience to treat sewage sludge over the longer term
  • balancing risk and investment whilst continuing to deliver on promises to customers, employees and stakeholders

 

Specific responsibilities include:

  • Understanding our existing asset health and using this to inform TOTEX investment planning – in year, in AMP and for supporting Price Reviews/Business Plan submissions with strategic/business planning.
  • Carry out analysis of asset performance and assess risk to prioritise investment within the asset base
  • Understand our asset base condition and identify assets that are restricting our overall performance
  • Own the risk assessment methodology for asset types,
  • Deliver updated information on asset condition to all stakeholders and integrate best practice into local operating practice.
  • Working with operations to manage capital budgets for:
  • £2m per annum for our small scale Capital Maintenance process
  • Medium scale capital replacements (c£1m per project)
  • Medium scale investments to improve Bioresources processes (<£3m per project)
  • Acting as project sponsor and tracking projects/assets from cradle to grave, and linking in to strategic investment planning
