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.

Ready to make a splash? Join our team today.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy solving complex challenges, and can bring people together during critical situations, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing:

As a key member of the Control Room Management Team, you will:

Lead and develop our incident response and emergency preparedness strategy
Manage the end-to-end incident response process for significant business-impacting incidents.
Oversee a team of 24/7 Incident Controllers, ensuring effective incident coordination and escalation.
Develop, review and implement incident management, emergency planning and business continuity processes.
Lead post-incident reviews, lessons learned programmes and continuous improvement initiatives.
Partner with operational teams to ensure emergency response arrangements, contingency plans and recovery capabilities remain effective and regularly tested.
Support root cause analysis and problem resolution activities across the business.
Develop and deliver training and development programmes to strengthen organisational resilience.
Represent the organisation at key external forums, including resilience and emergency planning groups.
Drive innovation and best practice in incident management, preparedness and organisational resilience.

What we're looking for:

You'll be a confident leader with the ability to remain calm under pressure and inspire others during challenging situations.

Essential

Degree-level qualification or equivalent senior-level experience.
Professional qualification in Incident Management, Emergency Planning or Business Continuity.
Experience leading teams and projects within a complex organisation.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
Experience implementing processes and procedures across large or complex organisations.
Proven ability to analyse complex information and make sound decisions.
A strategic mindset with a focus on continuous improvement and operational excellence.

Desirable

Chartered membership of a relevant professional body.
Experience working in a regulated environment.
Experience within the utilities, infrastructure or water sector.
Knowledge of regulatory and compliance requirements relating to emergency planning and resilience.

What's in it for you?

This is a unique opportunity to shape and lead a critical business function that safeguards essential services for customers and communities. You'll work with senior leaders across the organisation, influence strategic decision-making, and play a pivotal role in ensuring we're prepared for whatever challenges come next.

We know our people drive our success — so we’re committed to offering an excellent range of benefits, including:

30 days annual leave + bank holidays
Bonus Plan
Private Healthcare
Company car or cash for car allowance
Competitive contributory pension
Share-save scheme
Health benefits & wellbeing support programmes
Group discounts
Cycle to Work scheme
Financial support services
Development and training opportunities
… and much more!

Closing Date: 27th July 2026

We may close this vacancy early if we receive a high volume of applications. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

Please note that the successful candidate will be subject to a mandatory DBS check as part of the onboarding process.

Be yourself, we like it that way. Together, we will build a culture of belonging, where inclusion is instinctive. Diversity is our strength and a reflection of our communities. We care, we value everyone, we celebrate uniqueness.

Our core values, which are essential to our success, are:

Be Rock Solid - Build trust and be trusted. Be the one we all look to and can depend on.
