Join Ofwat's RAPID Team as a Infrastructure Development and Delivery Lead

About Us

We are Ofwat, the Water Services Regulation Authority, a non-ministerial government department responsible for regulating the water sector in England and Wales. Our work has genuine significance - no other organisation does the work we do. It's unique and meaningful: keeping our water flowing; ensuring water bills don't cost a penny more than needed; holding water companies to account. Come and work at the source of everyday life.

The Role

We have an exciting opportunity for an Infrastructure Development & Delivery Lead to join our RAPID team. This role is at Principal level and the successful candidate will act as the main point of contact for a group of Strategic Resource Options (SROs) in the RAPID programme. The RAPID SROs are now maturing and working towards their gate three milestones and 10 new SROs are joining the RAPID programme following Ofwat's final determinations.

As the lead on a subset of water supply infrastructure projects, you will focus on ensuring their smooth and efficient delivery. This includes identifying regulatory blockers and working to find resolutions, managing of our expert advisors, and advising companies and regulators on how to continue to move projects forward to planning.

You will engage with a wide range of stakeholders including government bodies, regulators, and water companies, as well as other relevant sectors and interested parties. You will also have a role in shaping the gated process and you will lead the gate assessment of your portfolio of SROs. You will play a vital role in the successful delivery of new water supply infrastructure which is essential to improving the resilience of water supplies and reducing unsustainable abstraction from the environment.

More generally, our Principals play a key role in driving delivery through effective project and resource planning, as well as through line management. You will be expected to support, empower and act as a role model for junior members of the team, while actively contributing to the corporate initiatives that make Ofwat a great place to work. You will also have the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues across Ofwat, raising understanding of the RAPID programme, sharing your expertise, as well as regularly working closely with the Major Projects, Water Resources and Price Review teams to ensure successful project delivery.
