About the Role:
As a Business Analyst – Water & Utilities, you will make an impact by partnering with clients across the water and wider utilities sector to shape and deliver business and technology transformation initiatives.

• Demonstrated ability to produce high-quality requirements, process models, and functional documentation.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical audiences.
These will help you stand out:
• Knowledge of ISO 55000, PAS 55, or other asset management standards.
• Experience working in regulated utilities environments, including exposure to Ofwat or similar regulatory frameworks.
• Familiarity with asset management or enterprise systems such as Maximo, SAP PM, Ellipse, GIS, or data analytics platforms.
• Professional certifications such as BCS Business Analysis, IIBA CBAP, or equivalent.
