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.

This is a unique and exciting opportunity for someone with an interest in infrastructure projects or project finance looking to gain experience working on some of the most important capital projects in the water sector. With projects ranging between several hundred million pounds and several billion pounds, the team works with water companies on some of the largest and most complex infrastructure projects the sector has seen in over thirty years. These projects are vital to meeting the needs of current and future customers—and your work will directly impact how companies deliver for them. Join us to help secure water supplies for future generations and build a lasting legacy for communities and the environment.

You will be proactive and respond flexibly to the needs of the organisation by supporting with the development and delivery of major water and wastewater infrastructure projects across England and Wales. This will primarily be through competitive delivery models such as Ofwat's Direct Procurement for Customers (“DPC”) model or the (“SIPR”) as used in the delivery of the Thames Tideway Tunnel project. You will also interface with projects that have been approved through the RAPID (Regulator's Alliance for Progressing Infrastructure Development) process.

The role will also involve working with different advisory services to develop and maintain strong relationships with key external players in the sector while working closely with other parts of Ofwat's Major Projects and Markets directorate and the wider Ofwat organisation.

The successful candidate may come from a variety of backgrounds and is likely to have an interest and knowledge of, or some experience in regulatory policy or delivery of major infrastructure projects gained through related studies or work experience in Government, regulators, utilities or the contracting sector. Ideally, you will have a broad understanding of utilities in the UK.
