Sr. Regional Drinking Water Process Leader
We are seeking a Senior Regional Drinking Water Process Leader to provide technical direction and operational leadership across a portfolio of drinking water treatment facilities. This role will drive consistent, safe, and efficient process performance, supporting regional teams in meeting regulatory, quality, environmental, and customer service requirements. You will act as a senior subject-matter expert, translating drinking water standards, operational data, and emerging technologies into practical improvements across the region.
Key responsibilities include leading process optimisation initiatives, reviewing plant performance, identifying risks and improvement opportunities, and developing strategies to improve resilience, efficiency, water quality, and asset utilisation. You will provide guidance on treatment processes such as coagulation, clarification, filtration, disinfection, chemical dosing, sludge management, and water quality monitoring. The role will also involve supporting investigations into operational incidents, reviewing technical designs and process changes, contributing to capital investment planning, and ensuring that lessons learned are shared across sites. You will work closely with operations, engineering, maintenance, regulatory, laboratory, and project teams, while also coaching process specialists and operational leaders.
The successful candidate will have significant experience in drinking water treatment, process engineering, or a closely related field, with a strong understanding of treatment plant operations, regulatory compliance, risk management, and performance improvement. A relevant degree or equivalent professional qualification is required, along with the ability to interpret complex technical information and make sound, evidence-based decisions. Experience leading regional or multi-site programmes, managing stakeholders, and delivering change in a regulated environment would be highly valuable. You should be an influential communicator who can build trust at all levels, challenge constructively, and convert technical recommendations into clear actions. A practical, collaborative approach and commitment to public health, operational excellence, and continuous improvement are essential.
