If you want to do more because you care, we’d love to talk to you. There really is something for everyone here.

We’re looking for Compliance Analysts to join our Asset Planning team at our office in Derby or Coventry.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

In this role you’ll provide expert support to the WINEP (Water Industry National Environment Programme) Environmental Manager and Compliance Specialists by interpreting and advising on the regulatory requirements of AMP7 and AMP8 WINEP, with a focus on intermittent discharges. This role will lead on investigations and drive improvements in line with the Environment Act.

You’ll also be responsible for facilitating effective engagement with external stakeholders, including the Environment Agency, Natural England, and Ofwat, as well as internal teams. Through clear communication and collaborative problem-solving, the role will ensure that investigation outcomes and improvement plans are understood and any queries are resolved. This will enable the business to operate its assets in full compliance and deliver its investment objectives.

We’re looking for someone who is organised, adaptable, and committed to continuous improvement and sustainability.
