About us

Water has a deep historic and cultural connection with communities in Wales. Over three million people and businesses across Wales and parts of Herefordshire depend on Dwr Cymru Welsh Water for a plentiful supply of clean drinking water and wastewater treatment services. As the only not-for-profit water company in England and Wales, employing approximately 9,000 people directly and through our supply chain, and with a £4.2bn capital investment programme over the next five years, supporting over 140,000 of our most vulnerable customers with additional financial support, our impact on our customers and communities we serve is significant – for public health, the health of our environment, and the health of our economy.

However, the world we work in is changing rapidly – the need to adapt to climate change; meet customers’ increasing expectations; maintain their trust; improve our performance; and ensure our team has all the skills needed and is empowered to meet these challenges.

As Chief Executive, you will bring visionary leadership, a deep commitment to public service, and a track record of delivering change at scale in an infrastructure company that is heavily regulated. With exceptional strategic and stakeholder skills, you’ll inspire our people and partners to improve performance and deliver for customers, communities, and the environment. The role requires an exceptional candidate, with a proven record of delivering first-class service through a period of change, always committed to providing the best service for our customers and communities.
