Job Title: Wastewater Technical Data Analyst
Location: Falmer
Salary: Up to 40K, depending on experience
Contract type: Permanent | Full-time (37 hours per week)
Department: Operational Planning & Improvement
About The Role
We’re looking for a Wastewater Technical Data Analyst to join Southern Water at a pivotal point in our Data, Analytics and AI Transformation, with a dedicated focus on wastewater environmental spills.
Southern Water is making a significant, long term investment in data and digital capability to transform how we manage our assets, protect the environment, and meet future regulatory and operational challenges. At the heart of this transformation is our Data & Analytics Strategy, which treats data as a strategic asset and enables the business to move from reactive reporting to proactive, intelligence led decision making.
In this role, you will directly contribute to that strategy by helping to design, build and evolve spill focused analytical tools and insights. Your work will support the long term reduction of wastewater spills by improving how we identify risk, understand root causes, manage exceptions, and intervene earlier across our wastewater network.
You will be part of the Operational Planning & Improvement function, working closely with wastewater operations, environmental compliance, engineering, and digital teams. You’ll use modern, cloudbased data platforms and analytics to transform complex operational, telemetry, and environmental data into actionable intelligence that informs spill prevention, regulatory performance, and investment decisions.
This role goes beyond producing dashboards. It is about building enduring analytical capability — developing data products, models, and insight frameworks that will underpin Southern Water’s spill reduction and environmental performance for years to come.
