Supply Risk Analyst

Seeking a new opportunity to use your expert risk knowledge with a leading organisation? Excited by the prospect of working in a picturesque part of the country? If so, we have a great opportunity to join us and help maintain our industry-leading performance. Our Operational Science team helps to ensure that we not only comply with all the regulatory requirements for water quality but also deliver water to the highest possible standards for all our customers. Please note, we are open to applications from across, Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire. What you'll do The main function of this role is to manage, promote and maintain the statutory water quality risk assessments known as the Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) system. This role is key to ensuring that water quality and sufficiency risks are correctly identified, recorded and prioritised for investment. GRC contains all the information needed to ensure we continue to provide the best quality water to our customers, so its accuracy is key to target capital and operational investment to manage business risks. Contribute to the ongoing development of the Drinking Water Safety Plan (DWSP) methodology and associated policies and procedures to ensure that the company GRC is comprehensive and well informed. This will ensure the correct decisions are made to maintain delivery of a wholesome, sustainable water supply. You'll work closely with the Operational Managers, Scientists and Engineers, as well as acting as a primary contact for all source, treatment and distribution risk changes and being central to investment decisions. In addition, you will represent the company with external stakeholders, such as the Drinking Water Inspectorate and auditing bodies. What you'll need We are happy to consider applications from both experienced water professionals and those who bring risk management skills from a different environment.

So, along with a relevant scientific degree, you will have a good knowledge of water treatment, water distribution and water quality regulations, with a great willingness to develop further. Alternatively, you will have relevant experience and the enthusiasm to learn all about our industry and bring your risk expertise to bear on it. Either way, you will also need:

• to be highly self-motivated and able to prioritise your workload and cope with an evolving landscape of responsibilities and expectations
• great interpersonal skills to develop and maintain effective working relationships, both internally and externally
• good IT and data handling skills
• well-developed data analysis and report writing skills
• to promote and maintain awareness around health, safety and wellbeing
• a full UK driving licence.
