We are working in collaboration with the government and other regulators to help establish a new body for England, combining our strengths with those of the Drinking Water Inspectorate, the Environment Agency, and Natural England. We're also continuing to engage with the Welsh Government to support future decisions for Wales. While these changes take shape, our mission remains the same: to hold water companies to account, drive performance, and ensure the sector delivers real value for customers, communities, and the environment. If you're passionate about making a difference, this is a unique moment to join us and help shape the future of water, and together we can continue to make a positive impact.

The Asset Management Specialist role has an important and valuable contribution to enable us to deliver on our goals and regulatory commitments. This role centres on providing expert advice on assets, asset management, asset health, and operational resilience. You will work with others to develop policy solutions to address resilience challenges in the water sector and take ownership of project delivery. This includes defining and delivering a scope of work within agreed timelines, budgets, and contract parameters. A key aspect of the team's work involves influencing the sector to improve its asset management capability and understanding of Operational Resilience. Previous key publications in this area include our Asset Management Maturity Assessment and Operational Resilience Discussion Paper . Your key activities within the team are outlined in the next section (Key Deliverables).
