We are seeking an experienced Water Team Leader to lead and coordinate a skilled operational team responsible for delivering safe, reliable and efficient water services. You will oversee day-to-day activities, allocate resources and ensure work is completed to the required standards, within agreed timescales and in line with relevant legislation, policies and procedures. The role will involve supporting operational performance across planned and reactive works, monitoring service levels and responding effectively to changing priorities and customer needs.
Key responsibilities will include supervising, mentoring and developing team members; planning workloads, rotas and site activities; checking work quality and maintaining accurate records; and ensuring that health, safety, environmental and technical requirements are consistently met. You will investigate issues, identify opportunities for improvement and work collaboratively with internal teams, contractors and external stakeholders to resolve operational challenges. The successful candidate will also contribute to performance reporting, incident reviews, risk assessments and the continuous improvement of processes, while promoting a positive culture of accountability, teamwork and customer service.
You should have substantial experience in water operations, utilities, engineering, maintenance or a closely related environment, together with proven experience of leading or supervising a team. A sound understanding of water industry practices, operational risk, safe systems of work and relevant regulatory requirements is essential. You will need strong communication, organisation and problem-solving skills, with the confidence to make decisions and remain calm under pressure. A relevant technical qualification or equivalent practical experience is desirable, as is familiarity with asset management, permit systems and performance monitoring. The role may require travel between operational locations, participation in an on-call rota and a flexible approach to working hours. A full UK driving licence may also be required.
