Work type:
Permanent. 37 hours per week, Monday – Friday between the working window of 8:00am-6:00pm. We embrace a flexible working model, where our hybrid setup typically requires an average of 1-2 days in the office per week. This could be slightly more when collaborative efforts, training or meeting deadlines demand it. For those who prefer to work on-site, our office is open Monday-Friday during working hours.
What we do!
The River Health Team sits within Asset Management and plays a vital role in protecting and improving Yorkshire’s environment while supporting our 10-year strategy, “A Thriving Yorkshire, Right for Customers, Right for the Environment.” As Yorkshire Water continues to respond to new environmental legislation, significant investment programmes, and increasing customer and regulatory expectations, this is an exciting time to be part of a team shaping the future of water quality across the region.
The team is responsible for delivering the Continuous Water Quality Monitoring (CWQM) programme, a key requirement arising from changes to Section 82 of the Environment Act 2021. With river health under greater scrutiny than ever, the programme aims to improve environmental performance while building trust and confidence with customers, regulators, and stakeholders.
The Project Coordinator will play a key role in supporting the successful delivery of CWQM by working closely with project teams, operational colleagues, and external stakeholders. The role will help drive operational efficiency through well-managed meetings, standardised processes, clear schedules, and robust action tracking. It will also support project governance by ensuring risks and issues are identified early, mitigated proactively, and escalated where necessary.
