Job description

Southern Water is embarking on one of its most ambitious investment periods to date as part of the AMP8 programme – and we’re looking for a pioneering Asset Insight Analyst to help us deliver on our strategic goals.

This newly created role is a rare opportunity to make a real impact from day one. Working within our Asset Strategy and Planning team, you’ll be the critical link between data and decision-making – providing the insights that will shape how we manage our vast network of water and wastewater assets for years to come

You’ll be leading the way in turning complex asset data into actionable insight – identifying patterns, trends and opportunities that inform investment, maintenance and long-term planning. Your analysis will influence everything from asset health to risk reduction and resilience, helping Southern Water deliver improved performance, sustainability, and customer outcomes.

This is more than a technical role – it’s a chance to drive genuine transformation

Responsibilities will include:

• Analyse and interpret large-scale asset data to inform strategic decisions across performance, risk, and lifecycle planning.
• Build and manage intuitive dashboards and visualisations (Power BI, Qlik, Tableau) to bring insights to life for non-technical stakeholders.
• Identify trends and lead investigations into asset health, failure root causes, and performance anomalies.
• Deliver geospatial and predictive analytics that inform future asset strategies.
• Provide direct analytical support to the Asset Strategy & Planning team and collaborate across functions.
• Take a leading role in improving data quality, promoting data-driven decision making, and enhancing digital integration across asset management.
• Contribute to regulatory reporting and strategic planning through insight on asset criticality, resilience, condition, cost/risk/benefit trade-offs, and more

About You

You will bring experience with data analytics and visualisation tools such as Power BI, Qlik, and Tableau, along with strong technical skills in data preparation and manipulation using Alteryx, SQL, Python, or R. With a curious and analytical mindset, you enjoy uncovering insights from data and translating complex information into clear, compelling narratives for stakeholders. Knowledge of statistical modelling, forecasting techniques, and asset management standards such as ISO55000 is desirable. Familiarity with water industry operations or similar infrastructure environments is a plus but not essential.

Package

This role will be full time Monday to Friday 37 hours a week.

Southern Water operate a hybrid approach to working between our Durrington office and home.

We are offering a salary of up to £35,000 per annum depending on skills and experience as well as other benefits including:

• Company and performance-related bonus

• Generous pension up to 11% company contribution

• 25 days annual leave

• Life assurance equal to 4x salary

• Salary sacrifice electric car scheme (after 6 months service)

• Full funded eye tests

• Two paid volunteering days a year

• Discounts with over 800 popular retailers

• Study support may be available for job-related qualifications

• Competitive maternity leave and flexible return to work options

• Cycle to work scheme

Does this opportunity excite you but you’re not 100% sure if you meet all the requirements for the role? Or are you concerned that ‘normal’ office hours aren’t possible given your personal circumstances? Whilst we can’t accommodate every flexible working request, we’ll try to find a practical solution. So why not engage with us and find out more about this role?

Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, because delivering water for life is our core purpose. To achieve this, we need 24/7 support in place to resolve incidents quickly and efficiently. All our employees understand the importance of out-of-hours incident support – because when problems appear, fixing them is our top priority. That’s why our people join together and support when and however needed to make sure our customers get the service they deserve. Joining the Southern Water family means you’ll become part of our incident support team. During your interview, your manager will speak to you about any incident support rotas that apply to your position.
