Strong partnership and stakeholder management skills across internal and external organisations
The ability to influence and engage a diverse range of audiences, from operational teams to executive stakeholders
Experience balancing innovation, risk and compliance in complex environments

Project or programme management qualifications or experience
Knowledge of asset management frameworks such as ISO 55000
Knowledge of information management standards such as ISO 19650
Understanding of the UK water regulatory landscape
