Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland.

At Scottish Water, we look after Scotland’s most precious natural resource, ensuring pure water from source to tap while caring for the environment.

We are seeking 2 Analysts to join our Portfolio Management Performance & Insights team, either in the Performance or Reporting team.

What you’ll do

You will provide visibility of the Capital Programme, measuring delivery against targets for time, cost, and carbon intensity. You will produce reports and support stakeholders, including Project Managers, Directors, and Scottish Water directorates.

If in the Performance Team, your focus will be on data visualisation, creating Power BI reports for presentations.

Progression involves greater participation in meetings and performance discussions.

If in the Reporting Team, your role will be more technical, requiring knowledge of databases, Power BI, SQL, and/or DAX. Knowledge of other programming languages is beneficial.

All roles may involve regulatory and external work, producing board reports and liaising with WICS, requiring attention to detail and accuracy.

What you’ll need

Effective communication skills in visual, verbal, and written forms are essential. You should be able to simplify complex analysis, add value to reports, and bring innovative ideas.

Strong root cause analysis skills, enthusiasm for data improvement projects, and a proactive approach to technology are important.

Good time management and prioritisation skills are necessary, along with proficiency in MS Office applications, especially PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and Power BI.

Looking out for you

We promote work-life balance with 38 days of holiday (plus options to buy more), flexible working, and family-friendly policies. Benefits include a pension, life assurance, annual bonus, and rewards through SW Splash.
