Ofwat
We regulate the water sector in England and Wales, https://www.ofwat.gov.uk/jobs/make-a-splash/
Requirements of the role
We have an opportunity for four Senior Associates Enforcement to join our Casework and Enforcement Team within the Casework, Enforcement & Customers Directorate.
These four roles are based in the Casework and Enforcement Team, within Ofwat’s Casework, Enforcement & Customers Directorate. The Casework and Enforcement team is the “front door” for many of the customers and stakeholders who contact Ofwat with enquiries or complaints about the sector or their water company. Where we have the legal powers to do so (typically under the Water Industry Act 1991, or the Competition Act 1998), we investigate and resolve customer disputes or water company failures, to ensure that water and wastewater companies meet their legal obligations to their customers, society, and the environment. Our work helps individual customers resolve disputes with their water company, to investigating water company failures, which can result in imposing multi-million-pound fines where a water company has failed to meet its legal obligations.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
