5. Help develop, review, and maintain DWSP policies, procedures, standards, and best practices, continually improving and refining the system by identifying efficiencies and ensuring the methodology is up to date.
6. Liaise with colleagues for updates on risk mitigation controls and support the Water Risk Manager in identifying and assessing new or emerging risks to water supply, quality, and sufficiency.
7. Understand and make decisions using scientific data and literature.
8. Maintain strong report writing skills, with the ability to translate and summarise technical information for communication with the Water Risk team, Water Quality, and the wider business.
