Our Water Services team clean water to the highest standard, deliver it to millions of homes, and carefully manage it to ensure it never runs out. We borrow water from the environment, store it and treat it to world-class standards to supply safe drinking water to 4.3 million customers in towns and villages from Grimsby in the northeast of our region to Milton Keynes at the south-western tip.
Reporting to the Head of Maintenance Strategy & Asset Health, you’ll lead the strategic definition and delivery of our Reliability-Centred Maintenance (RCM) programme for AMP8. You’ll act as the central enablement lead for maintenance strategy across Water Supply—embedding RCM as the core methodology and driving the shift from reactive maintenance to proactive, predictive and data-led approaches.
This is a high-impact leadership role where you’ll influence how we maintain a vast asset base—including over 150 treatment works, 800 tanks and 8,000 pumps—ensuring improved reliability, performance and long-term efficiency.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the development and delivery of the RCM strategy and roadmap, embedding it across Water Supply
- Define and implement structured maintenance methodologies, including failure mode analysis, criticality and risk-based planning
- Drive the transition from reactive to proactive and condition-based maintenance approaches
- Ensure maintenance strategies are supported by accurate, structured asset data and digital tools (e.g. SAP S/4HANA, Digital Twin)
- Collaborate with operational, planning and asset teams to align maintenance with production and capital investment strategies
- Use performance data and analytics to identify trends, improve asset reliability and reduce repeat failures
- Lead and develop a small team, building capability and fostering a culture of continuous improvement
- Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and support delivery of key performance commitments (e.g. CRI, EPA, UPO)
- Champion innovation, external best practice and emerging technologies in asset management
