Asset Management - Regulatory Monitoring Consultant

Job Description

Overview

 

Shape the future of regulatory monitoring in the water industry.

The water industry is facing increasing scrutiny and investment in environmental performance, wastewater monitoring and regulatory compliance. Reliable reporting depends not only on data, but on the instrumentation, operational practices and management systems behind it.

We are looking for a Regulatory Monitoring Consultant to join our Asset and Information Management practice and help grow our specialist capability.

Working alongside our Technical Authority for Regulatory Monitoring and Compliance and a wider multidisciplinary team, you will help water companies manage monitoring risk from sensor to submission and beyond.

This role brings together three core areas: wastewater industry knowledge, instrumentation and monitoring, and data analysis and you do not need to arrive as a complete regulatory-monitoring specialist.

Your role

Your work will vary across client assignments and may include:

• Analysing wastewater flow, spill, process and instrumentation data to identify anomalies, trends and potential compliance risks.
• Supporting flow-compliance investigations, root-cause analysis and corrective-action planning.
• Reviewing the selection, installation, calibration, operation and maintenance of monitoring instrumentation.
• Assessing whether monitoring arrangements and available data are fit for their intended operational and regulatory purpose.
• Supporting the development and assessment of instrumentation, quality or environmental management systems.
• Contributing to technical audits, assurance reviews and regulatory submissions.
• Supporting sensor strategies, monitoring asset plans, technical standards and investment programmes.
• Presenting clear, evidence-based findings to operational, technical and senior client stakeholders.
• Contributing to methods, guidance, training and the continued growth of our Regulatory Monitoring and Compliance capability.
• The role combines detailed technical investigation with a wider management-system perspective.
• You could move between reviewing an individual monitoring installation, analysing operational data and helping a client improve its governance, assurance or investment approach.

About you

Essential

• Relevant experience in the wastewater industry, gained through a water company, consultancy, contractor, technology provider, regulator or comparable environment.
• A working understanding of instrumentation and monitoring systems in an operational setting.
• The ability to interrogate data, identify issues and draw defensible conclusions.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Clear written and verbal communication.
• A structured and evidence-led approach to technical work.
• The ability to work collaboratively with operational, engineering, data and management stakeholders.
• Curiosity, sound judgement and a strong willingness to learn.
• Willingness to travel to client offices and operational sites when required.
• This role is specifically focused on wastewater. Applicants should be able to demonstrate meaningful exposure to wastewater operations, treatment, networks, monitoring or compliance.

Desirable

• Experience in one or more of the following would be beneficial, but is not essential:
• MCERTS, Event Duration Monitoring (EDM) or another regulated monitoring environment.
• Wastewater flow, spill or continuous water-quality monitoring.
• Flow measurement, calibration or instrument maintenance.
• Wastewater process engineering.
• Operational or time-series data analysis.
• Quality, environmental or instrumentation management systems.
• Regulatory reporting, technical assurance or auditing.
• Root-cause analysis and compliance investigation.
• Instrumentation asset planning or lifecycle management.
• Development of standards, procedures or technical training.
• Experience of visiting operational sites and working safely in site environments; this is beneficial rather than essential, and appropriate training will be provided.
• We are interested in your ability to reason with data, not simply your experience with a particular software package.

Qualifications

• You are likely to have a degree, apprenticeship or equivalent professional experience in instrumentation, engineering, water or wastewater, environmental science, data analytics, asset management or a related discipline.
• Professional registration, or a commitment to work towards it, would be welcomed but is not essential. We will actively support you through mentoring, guidance and relevant development opportunities.
• We are looking for someone with a strong technical foundation, curiosity and the willingness to develop expertise in an increasingly important area of the water industry.
• We equally value practical experience and recognise that strong capability can be developed through different career routes.
