But for us, it's so much more than this.

We look after communities, protect the environment, and plan to look after Yorkshire's water, today, tomorrow 24/7, 365 days a year. We provide essential water and wastewater services to every corner of the Yorkshire region, and play a key role in the region's health, wellbeing, and prosperity.

New environmental legislation, unprecedented levels of investment and changing expectations from customers means that this is an exciting time to discover opportunities within the water industry. Water Quality are a key part of how we plan to meet the changing expectations of customers and regulators.

• This is a key role delivering regulatory compliance and ensuring the public health of our customers. You will work as part of the Public Health Team to provide expert technical support to implement the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations. You will be a key advisor in respect of both technical and regulatory aspects of public health and water quality.
• Working in collaboration with Water Service Delivery Teams, you will investigate events and water quality breaches to deliver timely regulatory reports for external stakeholders, including the Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI), UKHSA and Local Authorities. This will be following the company's root cause analysis methodology and with a thorough understanding of regulatory requirements and measures, including Compliance Risk Index and Event Risk Index.
• Part of the role will be carrying out water quality audits on Yorkshire Water colleagues and reviewing procedures to ensure conformance with industry best practice. You will ensure the provision of water quality data and technical interpretation to colleagues, facilitating day to day water production and supply activity. You will also deliver training to internal and external colleagues on drinking water hygiene and safety.

• The successful candidate will have a Scientific degree in a relevant scientific or engineering discipline or equivalent work experience in these areas.
