CONSULTANT – WASTEWATER ASSURANCE

Your impact

The UK water sector is entering its most significant period of investment in a generation, with more than £100bn expected to be invested in improving water and wastewater services between 2025 and 2030. As a Consultant - Wastewater Assurance, you'll play a critical role in ensuring that investment delivers genuine value for customers, communities and the environment.

Your expertise will help water companies make confident, evidence-based decisions, improve environmental outcomes, strengthen regulatory compliance, and ensure that vital wastewater and bioresources programmes are delivered effectively. This is an opportunity to influence some of the sector's most important strategic and operational decisions while helping shape a more sustainable future.

What's In It for You

• Be part of the UK's largest provider of technical assurance services to the water sector.
• Work on nationally significant wastewater, drainage and bioresources programmes.
• Gain exposure to a diverse portfolio of projects across assurance and strategic planning.
• Collaborate with recognised technical experts and industry leaders.
• Enjoy flexibility, variety and opportunities to broaden your technical and consulting skills.
• Build your career in a growing team at the centre of major regulatory and investment decisions.
• Contribute to work that directly benefits customers, communities and the environment.

About the Opportunity

We're growing our Wastewater Assurance team and are looking for a consultant with experience in wastewater, drainage, flood risk, surface water and/or bioresources to help us deliver trusted technical assurance services across the UK water sector.

You'll work alongside a multidisciplinary team supporting water companies and stakeholders through a period of unprecedented investment and transformation. From reviewing wastewater performance and strategic plans to delivering robust assurance audits and reports, you'll help ensure programmes are evidence-based, compliant and focused on delivering long-term value.

No two projects are the same. One week you may be reviewing Drainage and Wastewater Management Plans (DWMPs) or wastewater performance strategies, while the next you'll be supporting broader strategic planning initiatives, innovation programmes or continuous improvement activities.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver technical assurance reviews of wastewater performance, wastewater strategies and Drainage and Wastewater Management Plans (DWMPs).
• Produce high-quality assurance reports and audit findings aligned with internal standards and regulatory requirements.
• Assess evidence, performance data and investment plans to provide clear, objective recommendations.
• Support innovation and continuous improvement initiatives across assurance and project delivery activities.
• Collaborate with colleagues, clients and stakeholders to foster a positive and high-performing team environment.
• Contribute to a variety of assurance and strategic planning projects across the wider business.
