Job description
The Role

We are seeking three Major Projects Delivery Analysts to join our growing Major Projects Team at Senior Associate level. You will play a key role in not only delivering Ofwat’s strategy, but also in the development of our approach to the delivery of major infrastructure projects by leading small workstreams or projects.

This is a unique and exciting opportunity for someone with experience of infrastructure projects, project delivery or project finance looking to work on some of the most important capital projects in the water sector, as well as gain experience in new delivery models. You will have a real input into some of these exciting projects and accompanying policy issues. These projects are vital to meeting the needs of current and future customers—and your work will directly impact how companies deliver for them. Join us to help secure water supplies for future generations and build a lasting legacy for communities and the environment.

You will be proactive and respond flexibly to the needs of the organisation by facilitating the development and delivery of major water and wastewater infrastructure projects across England and Wales. This will primarily be through competitive delivery models such as Ofwat’s Direct Procurement for Customers (“DPC”) model or the (“SIPR”) as used in the delivery of the Thames Tideway Tunnel project. You will also interface with projects that have been approved through the RAPID (Regulator’s Alliance for Progressing Infrastructure Development) process.

The role will also involve bringing together different advisory services to identify opportunities, developing, and maintaining strong relationships with key external players in the sector while working closely with other parts of Ofwat’s Major Projects and Markets directorate and the wider Ofwat organisation. You will be expected to uphold high standards of delivery and collaborate with water and wastewater companies to support them to deliver the best value for customers. You will have a high degree of autonomy and responsibility, and with our support you will continue to hone your judgement and be expected to exercise it responsibly in line with our strategy and ways of working.
