Ofwat
We regulate the water sector in England and Wales, https://www.ofwat.gov.uk/jobs/make-a-splash/
Requirements of the role
At this crucial time for the water sector, we are recruiting to three Stakeholder Engagement Lead roles to ensure we plan and deliver effective external engagement and communications to ensure the success of key strategic programmes.
Each Stakeholder Engagement Lead role will be assigned to one of the following three priority areas for Ofwat:
Water efficiency campaign
One of the available roles will be focused on our water efficiency campaign, Let’s Save Water. Let’s Save Water is a cross-regulatory behaviour change initiative co-owned by Ofwat, DEFRA, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Drinking Water Inspectorate, Natural Resources Wales, and water companies. This is a high-profile campaign addressing one of England and Wales’s most pressing environmental challenges, and you’ll be at the heart of making it happen.
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.
