**About the Opportunity**

Our Water Strategy and Regulation team provides technical assurance services to 11 UK water companies. Our team brings together experience across the entire water system including finance, regulation, engineering, water resources and operations. We understand how water companies operate, the challenges they face, the regulatory environment they operate in and the performance data we are reviewing. We take a partnership approach with our clients to review documentation, processes and data to minimise reporting risk and provide Boards with the information they need to make their assurance statements confidently.

As part of the Water Strategy and Regulation team you will have a key role in the ongoing delivery of our technical assurance services to our water sector clients. You will take a lead role in projects covering a diverse range of client activity, providing assurance and advice. Coordinating input from colleagues, and drawing on their expertise, you will make sure that our service meets the high standards we set for ourselves. Consistent with our culture of continuous improvement, you will also help to raise the bar - identifying ways to add more value for clients. As a key contact, you will play a major part in building strong client relationships. You will also prepare bids for client contracts, using your excellent communication skills to make a clear case for our services.

You will also work across our wider Water Division which delivers design, project management and asset management consultancy services to a wide range of clients in the Water sector. From feasibility studies and planning, to design, construction management and operations and maintenance, we bring together the talent and expertise necessary to deliver success, and we are proud of our extensive portfolio. Our workload is very diverse, and we have teams based in a range of locations across the UK.

**Here’s What You’ll Need**:

- Minimum of Honours Degree in economics, engineering, science or geography related discipline.
- Experience of working in a regulated industry, ideally water - as either a regulator, regulated company or consultancy capacity
- Experience in regulatory compliance, reporting and performance measures including producing, advising on and/or interrogating regulatory submissions
- Experience of costing Business Plan submissions including data management and assisting with Reporter and Regulator queries.
- Motivated, enthusiastic and a self-starter with attention to detail and high level of personal accountability
- Ability to build strong relationships on the basis of mutual trust and respect

**Why Jacobs?**
