Stakeholder Engagement Lead

Requirements of the role

At this crucial time for the water sector, we are recruiting to three Stakeholder Engagement Lead roles to ensure we plan and deliver effective external engagement and communications to ensure the success of key strategic programmes.

Each Stakeholder Engagement Lead role will be assigned to one of the following three priority areas for Ofwat:

     1. Water efficiency campaign

• One of the available roles will be focused on our water efficiency campaign, Let’s Save Water. Let’s Save Water is a cross-regulatory behaviour change initiative co-owned by Ofwat, DEFRA, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Drinking Water Inspectorate, Natural Resources Wales, and water companies. This is a high-profile campaign addressing one of England and Wales’s most pressing environmental challenges, and you’ll be at the heart of making it happen.

2. RAPID (Regulators’ Alliance for Progressing Infrastructure Development)

• We’re also looking for an experienced engagement professional to promote and explain the work of RAPID to a variety of stakeholders. RAPID is a partnership between Ofwat, the Environment Agency and the Drinking Water Inspectorate, established in 2019 to accelerate the development of major water supply infrastructure. Through the Major Water Infrastructure Programme we are overseeing a pipeline of around 30 projects set out at Price Review 2024 and recently consulted on expanding RAPID’s role to include the development of large-scale wastewater and other strategically important infrastructure projects.

     3. Cross-cutting

• We also have one cross-cutting role, which will lead work within our central Stakeholder Engagement team across a range of priority programmes and activities.
