Principal Outcomes

Requirements of the role

We are Ofwat, the Water Services Regulation Authority, a non-ministerial government department responsible for regulating the water sector in England and Wales.

We have an opportunity for two Principals to join our Outcomes Team within Price Review Directorate.

Ofwat’s Price Review Directorate is a key team in Ofwat. We set the five-year contracts to ensure water companies provide the services customers pay for.

In December 2024 we published our Price Review 2024 final determinations which support record levels of spending by water companies: £104 billion over the next five years. This gives the sector the opportunity for transformation, delivering better outcomes for customers and the environment. It will also help unlock critical new infrastructure across England and Wales, boosting local growth.

Over the next 12 months the team is:

Implementing its final determinations for the contracts between customers and companies over the 2025-2030 period;
Supporting the redetermination process being run by the Competition and Markets Authority for six companies; and
Developing the new regulatory framework for the next price review, drawing on recommendations from the Independent Water Commission’s final report and government’s subsequent White Paper.
