We’re proud to be part of Pennon Group, a leader in the UK water sector, working towards a greener future. Our goals? As well as lowering our carbon footprint, we’re working with partners to plant 300,000 trees, restore peatlands and supporting farmers and landowners to improve water quality and wildlife.

Whether you’re starting out or seeking a new challenge, our scale and ambition create opportunities for you to shape your own career.

Role Overview

The WCWE Regional Planning Manager is responsible for leading the development and delivery of the West Country Water and Environment (WCWE) regional plan. The role sits within the Strategic Planning function of the Water Resources and Environment directorate and coordinates collaboration between Pennon, Wessex Water, and wider WCWE stakeholders.

This role plays a critical part in shaping the region’s long-term (25+ year) water resources strategy, ensuring a coordinated, sustainable, and compliant approach across organisational boundaries.

Key Accountabilities

Strategic Planning & Programme Leadership

Lead the development and delivery of the WCWE Regional Plan, aligning with strategic objectives.
Plan and coordinate multiple programmes, ensuring progress is monitored and corrective actions are implemented where required.
Identify interdependencies across workstreams and actively manage risks and issues.

Stakeholder & Partnership Management

Facilitate collaboration between member water companies, regulators, and partner organisations.
Build and maintain strong relationships with stakeholders, including Environment Agency, Natural England, and Ofwat.
Ensure clear communication of plans, progress, and key messages to internal and external audiences.

Governance, Risk & Assurance

Oversee programme governance, ensuring risks, dependencies, and gaps are identified and mitigated.
Initiate interventions to address programme issues or delivery gaps.
Ensure alignment with regulatory requirements and strategic policy frameworks.

Financial & Resource Management

Manage budgets allocated to regional planning activities.
Oversee funding for assurance groups and ensure effective use of resources.

Communication & Reporting

Prepare and deliver regular progress reports to stakeholders, policymakers, and the public.
Manage dissemination of communications from regulators, steering groups, and stakeholders to WCWE members.

Cross-Regional Coordination

Engage with other regional groups and water companies to ensure alignment of plans.
Promote a unified, collaborative approach to water resource management across organisational boundaries.

Skills & Experience

Essential Experience

Strong background in water resources management, environmental planning, or a related field.
Proven experience in programme/project management and budget oversight.
Demonstrated leadership capability and experience managing teams or large-scale initiatives.
Experience working within a water company or regulated utility environment.
Strong understanding of environmental regulations and water resource policy frameworks.

Core Skills

Excellent stakeholder engagement and influencing skills.
Strong organisational and prioritisation abilities, managing multiple competing demands.
Analytical thinking with the ability to identify risks and develop mitigation strategies.
High attention to detail and a proactive, solutions-focused mindset.
Commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.

Qualifications

Essential: Degree in Science, Environmental Studies, Engineering, or a related discipline.
Desirable: Professional membership (e.g., CIWEM or equivalent).

Leadership & Behaviour Expectations

Collaborative and inclusive leader who builds strong internal and external relationships.
Self-starter with resilience and the ability to manage complex, long-term programmes.
Strategic thinker with a focus on long-term outcomes rather than short-term fixes.
Engages effectively with senior stakeholders and technical specialists.
