Major Projects Commercial Lead We are Ofwat, the Water Services Regulation Authority, a non‑ministerial government department responsible for regulating the water sector in England and Wales. We have an opportunity for a Major Projects Commercial Lead to join our Major Projects Team within the Major Projects and Markets Directorate. The water sector is entering a new chapter. Following the Independent Water Commission’s final report, the UK government has set out a bold new direction – one that brings together expertise from across the sector to deliver better outcomes for customers and the environment. Ofwat will be 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. Job Description We are looking for a Major Projects Commercial Lead to join our growing Major Projects Team at Principal level. The Major Projects Team is responsible for the oversight of the development, procurement, and delivery of the future pipeline of major infrastructure projects in the water sector in England and Wales. We work closely with RAPID (Regulator’s Alliance for Progressing Infrastructure Development) on early engagement on both water resources and wastewater planning. You will have an important and valuable contribution to enable Ofwat to deliver on our goals and regulatory commitments. Leading on programmes, workstreams or projects, you will play a key role in not only delivering Ofwat’s strategy, but also in the development of our approach across a £50bn Pipeline of Major Projects. You will be proactive and respond flexibly to the needs of the organisation by facilitating the development and delivery of major water and wastewater infrastructure projects across England. This will primarily be completed through competitive delivery models such as Ofwat’s Direct Procurement for Customers (DPC) model or the Specified Infrastructure Projects Regulations (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 process.
