About the role

We have an exciting opportunity for a Water Network Analyst to join our Water Service Planning Team, based in Washington with the flexibility of hybrid working. In this role, you’ll play a key part in providing analytical support that drives intelligent insight, prediction, and protection of the behaviour of Northumbrian Water’s entire water network.

As a Water Network Analyst, you’ll be at the heart of our strategic, tactical, and operational efforts. You’ll use hydraulic modelling software to simulate and monitor the impact of interventions on the network, helping us make smarter, more informed decisions about how we manage our assets and operations.

You’ll spend your time improving our hydraulic modelling stock and analysing the performance of our water network, simulating flows and pressures to identify where improvements or changes are needed. Your ability to interpret and clearly communicate predicted network behaviour will be crucial in helping us ensure a consistent and reliable supply of water to our customers.

About you

We’re looking for someone with a strong academic background in a technical field who has a degree level qualification in mathematics or science or can demonstrate an equivalent level of education, or analytical experience and thrives in a high-performance environment. You’ll be working with large and complex data sets, ideally using hydraulic analysis and network modelling software, to help shape the way our networks operate.

To succeed in this role, you’ll need to be flexible, curious, and quick to learn new systems, with a genuine interest in how infrastructure functions. Your ability to collaborate effectively will be essential, as you'll be translating complex data into actionable insights and presenting them to a range of stakeholders in a way that resonates.

You should be confident turning pressure into performance, using your analytical skills to solve challenges and provide well-communicated, practical advice. Your technical knowledge will support consistent, best-practice solutions across our operations, while your contributions will directly influence critical outcomes such as cost efficiency, customer satisfaction, and system reliability. 

We’re also counting on your drive to bring about continuous improvement, both in the way we work and the systems we use. 

Please note this role will require a DBS to be completed prior to employment
