We're seeking a skilful and passionate Technical Wastewater Specialist to join our Wastewater Strategy team and drive the development of our sewage treatment solutions for PR29 and AMP9.
What you'll do
This is an opportunity to join Wessex Water at a time of unprecedented change for the company and sector, with the potential for you to make a huge difference within your role. Our investment plan proposes a doubling of investment over the next five years, and a large proportion of this is in wastewater.
As a Technical Wastewater Specialist, you will be pivotal in shaping the scale of our investment in the future, including the solutions that will be used as part of our wastewater and environmental programmes in AMP9.

What you'll need
You'll need to be technically skilled but also question usual processes to ensure we're proposing the best solutions for our customers and the environment. This role will suit someone who has knowledge and experience of designing wastewater treatment solutions, but also can explain the need for these solutions in a strategic context.
You will need:
- to be degree qualified or equivalent, preferably a chartered engineer or equivalent status
- excellent oral and written communication skills
- personal skills to enable effective working with people at all levels
- expert knowledge of wastewater treatment processes and options
- excellent knowledge of relevant financial and environmental regulatory frameworks
