Value Delivery Consultant – Wastewater

UK wastewater utilities confront ageing pipes failing under climate extremes, regulatory mandates to dramatically cut CSO spills, and £multi-billion AMP8 investments that must deliver resilience, nature-based solutions, and circular resource recovery, while keeping bills affordable amid public scrutiny and Net Zero deadlines.

Your Impact

Working at the centre of UK wastewater transformation, you will use the Decisio™ platform to model and optimise raw and potable water systems for utility clients. Your role involves translating complex regulatory and operational requirements into data-driven scenarios that balance ecology, affordability, resilience, and Net Zero goals. You'll pioneer AI-optimised nature-based solutions, turning wastewater into a resilient, revenue-generating asset.

Responsibilities

  • Drive customer and stakeholder satisfaction through proactive understanding of client business requirements, translating them into modelling solutions
  • Lead and attend workshop sessions with business stakeholders to determine business requirements for end-use cases to be deployed
  • Inform clients' strategic Resource Management Plans and Long-Term Delivery Strategies, ensuring alignment with regulatory requirements and industry best practices, using the Decisio™ platform
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to support systems planning, offering guidance on efficiency optimisation, energy production enhancement, and resilience planning
  • Learn the core technologies used by BMA and become familiar with the proprietary Decision Intelligence software platform, Decisio™
  • Gather, transform, and validate data to design, as well as make use of available technologies to build and validate solution behaviour
  • Conduct comprehensive scenario analysis and network design optimisation to enhance system performance, efficiency, and resilience
  • Understand existing mathematical models and develop additional logic to meet both internal and clients' requirements
  • Participate in all aspects of system development, testing, deployment, and feedback with the overarching objective of further enhancing Decisio™

Advantageous

  • Hands-on experience with wastewater processes, combined sewer overflow (CSO) systems, and operational challenges
  • Deep knowledge of wastewater regulatory requirements (e.g. PR24) and industry best practices
  • Proven scenario analysis, optimisation modelling, and investment planning — balancing technical, economic, and environmental factors
  • AI/ML experience: machine learning models, neural networks, or AI-driven decision systems for infrastructure optimisation
  • Familiarity with AI-powered planning tools, digital twin platforms, or decision intelligence systems

Personal Characteristics

  • Passion for leveraging technology and quantitative analysis for real-world environmental benefits
  • Commitment to tech-driven sustainability in the water/wastewater sectors
