6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Reduction in Water-Related Notices of Violation (NOVs)
The number of formal warnings or fines received from regulators related to water discharge, quality, or usage.
Target · 30% reduction across your assigned region/programme within 24 months

If your assigned region had 10 NOVs last year, we'd expect to see 7 or fewer in the next 12 months after your programme implementation.

Water Efficiency Project Implementation Rate
The percentage of identified water efficiency projects (e.g., beneficial reuse, process optimisation) that are successfully implemented and deliver projected savings.
Target · 80% implementation rate for projects >£50K CAPEX

Programme Standardisation Adoption Rate
The percentage of relevant global sites that have fully adopted and are actively using the standardised water management programmes and tools you've designed.
Target · 75% adoption within 18 months of programme launch

You rolled out a new global stormwater management programme. We'd expect 75% of our 40 manufacturing sites to have fully implemented the new SWPPP and be using the associated digital tools.

Compliance Reporting Timeliness & Accuracy
Ensuring all required water-related regulatory reports (e.g., DMRs, annual environmental reports) are submitted on time and without errors.
Target · 100% on-time submission; <0.5% error rate on reported data

All 150 DMRs across your programme's sites were submitted before the deadline, and internal audits found only one minor transcription error in the data.

Your ability to influence senior leaders and cross-functional teams on water strategy, and to be recognised as the go-to expert for complex water challenges.
  • You're proactively invited to strategic planning meetings. Your recommendations are consistently adopted. Peers and managers seek your advice on novel or high-risk water issues. You represent the company in industry forums or regulatory discussions.
Programme Design & Robustness
The quality, practicality, and effectiveness of the water management programmes, standards, and guidelines you develop.
  • Programmes are clear, easy for site teams to follow, and demonstrably reduce risk. External auditors commend the robustness of your systems. Your designs are scalable across diverse operations and regulatory environments. They're not just theoretical
  • they work in practice.
Team Development & Mentorship
Your contribution to the growth and capability of junior team members and site environmental staff.
  • Junior specialists under your guidance show clear progression and increased autonomy. You actively provide constructive feedback and development opportunities. Site teams report increased confidence and capability in managing water issues after your support or training.
Regulatory Relationship Management
Your skill in building and maintaining constructive relationships with environmental regulators, particularly during permit negotiations or incident response.
  • Regulators view you as a credible and transparent contact. Negotiations result in favourable (but compliant) outcomes. You can defuse tense situations and represent the company's position effectively and ethically.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Building and Designing Robust Systems

You'll spend a lot of time creating frameworks, writing standard operating procedures, and designing new compliance programmes. This means thinking about how all the pieces fit together globally and making sure they're practical for local teams.

You'll get a real kick out of seeing a new global water quality monitoring programme you designed get rolled out successfully across 10 different sites, knowing it's making a real difference.

Solving Complex, Multi-faceted Problems

You'll be tackling issues that involve diverse regulatory landscapes, tricky technical challenges, and varying operational capabilities. It's rarely a simple 'A to B' solution; you'll be navigating a lot of grey areas.

When a new, stringent water discharge limit is proposed in a key operating region, you'll be the one figuring out the technical, operational, and financial implications, and then designing a compliance pathway.

Driving Real Environmental Impact

Your work directly contributes to reducing our company's water footprint, protecting local ecosystems, and ensuring responsible resource management. You'll see the tangible results of your efforts.

Knowing that a water reuse programme you championed is saving millions of litres of fresh water annually and reducing our environmental impact will be a significant source of satisfaction.

What frustrates people
  • Chasing down the operations team for their monthly water usage data five minutes before the regulatory reporting deadline, again.
  • Explaining to a senior executive for the third time why you can't just 'average out' a high pollutant reading that violates the daily maximum permit limit.
  • Dealing with the political dance of getting multiple global sites to adopt a new standardised programme when they all think their way is best.
  • A 100-year storm event that overwhelms your stormwater controls, causing a reportable release that you now have to explain to regulators despite having a textbook plan.
  • The tension of being seen as the 'cost centre' by production-focused colleagues, until an incident happens and you're suddenly the most important person in the room.
What this role does not give you
  • A purely technical, heads-down role without significant people interaction or influence.
  • Immediate, short-term gratification for every project; many initiatives are multi-year.
  • A relaxed, low-pressure environment; compliance work often involves high stakes and tight deadlines.
  • The ability to always make the 'perfect' environmental decision without considering business constraints.

8Who you work with

This role directly shapes our global water compliance and stewardship posture. You'll be accountable for designing the frameworks that prevent regulatory fines, reduce operational risk, and contribute to our public sustainability targets. Your work protects our licence to operate and enhances our brand reputation, directly impacting investor confidence and community relations. Get it wrong, and we're looking at significant financial penalties and a public relations nightmare.

Inside the business
  • Site Environmental Managers (globally)
  • Operations Leadership (regional and global)
  • Legal and Regulatory Affairs teams
  • Engineering and Capital Projects teams
  • Procurement and Supply Chain (for water risk in suppliers)
  • Sustainability and ESG Reporting teams
Outside the business
  • Environmental Regulators (e.g., Environment Agency, EPA equivalents)
  • External Auditors (ISO 14001, ESG)
  • Industry Associations and Peer Groups
  • Water Technology Vendors and Consultants

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • Proven track record of successfully managing complex water compliance projects or workstreams (typically 5+ years of direct experience).
  • Demonstrated ability to interpret and apply complex environmental regulations to industrial operations.
  • Experience in designing and implementing environmental management system components, ideally related to water.
  • Strong analytical skills, including data interpretation and root cause analysis for environmental incidents.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting technical information to non-technical audiences.
  • A solid understanding of industrial wastewater treatment processes and technologies (or equivalent experience in municipal systems).
  • Experience with EHS management software and data analysis tools (e.g., Excel, Power BI).

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced EHS Suite Configuration & Integration

Our EHS management suite is becoming the central nervous system for all compliance data. You won't just use it; you'll be designing how it integrates with other systems (like ERPs) and optimising its functionality to support complex global water programmes. This is critical within 6 months.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, you're knee-deep in complex regulations, global site data, and constant demands. Imagine having a smart assistant that handles the grunt work, spots risks you might miss, and even drafts your reports. That's what AI can do for you in this role.

We're not talking about replacing your expertise; we're talking about giving you superpowers. You'll be using AI to automate the tedious, analyse the overwhelming, and predict the unpredictable. This means more time for strategic thinking, problem-solving, and actually building those robust programmes.

Automated Regulatory Intelligence & Impact Analysis

AI scans global regulatory databases and legislative updates, flagging proposed changes to water regulations relevant to your specific operational permits. It drafts an initial impact summary, highlighting key changes in limits or reporting frequency across your global footprint, saving you hours of manual research and ensuring you're always ahead of the curve.

Predictive Water Risk & Exceedance Modelling

AI analyses real-time sensor data from wastewater treatment plants (flow, pH, turbidity), combined with production schedules and weather forecasts, to predict the probability of a permit exceedance in the next 24-48 hours. This shifts your team from reactive incident response to proactive process control, preventing costly violations and allowing you to fine-tune your programme designs.

Smart Global Water Risk Mapping & Supply Chain Analysis

AI analyses satellite imagery (e.g., reservoir levels, vegetation stress), climate model data, and local news/social media to identify emerging water scarcity or quality hotspots in your operations and supply chain. This goes beyond traditional, static risk maps, condensing weeks of manual research for annual risk assessments into days, giving you a dynamic view of global water risk.

AI-Assisted Programme Documentation & Report Generation

AI drafts the narrative sections of complex quarterly and annual environmental reports, programme manuals, and standard operating procedures by summarising performance data, incident logs, and corrective action summaries. It ensures consistent language and tone across all your documentation, freeing you to focus on strategic analysis, review, and getting those programmes implemented.
