About The Role

We're looking for an experienced Technical Policy Manager to help shape the future of wastewater services. This is a strategic role focused on developing long-term wastewater strategies, leading technical planning, and driving innovative solutions that deliver business objectives and regulatory commitments.

The role also involves horizon scanning for emerging technologies and best practice, ensuring the organisation remains at the forefront of innovation and asset management.

About You

What you'll bring:

  • Experience developing strategies and plans within a large organisation.
  • Knowledge of the water sector and its key challenges and opportunities.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills.
  • Expertise in option appraisal, business planning and cost-benefit analysis.

This is an exciting opportunity to influence long-term wastewater strategy, work alongside industry leaders, and help deliver sustainable outcomes for customers, communities and the environment

They provide a safe space for colleagues from diverse backgrounds, welcoming all colleagues regardless of their personal characteristics to participate in valuable conversation that improves our organisational awareness, understanding and inclusivity.

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.
