We're looking for an experienced and collaborative Head of Asset Management to help us make great decisions about our assets, investment and long-term priorities.

This is an influential leadership role with the opportunity to work across the organisation, bringing together strategy, risk, performance and insight to help us make informed, sustainable decisions.

What you'll be doing:
You’ll provide leadership for our approach to asset management, working with colleagues across the organisation to:

- Shape our long-term approach to asset management , connecting organisational priorities with the decisions we make about our assets.

- Support effective investment decisions , helping us balance performance, risk, resilience, affordability and long-term value.

- Build a clear view of asset health and risk , using information and insight to inform priorities and choices.

What we're looking for
There isn’t one particular career path that will make you successful in this role. You may have developed your experience through asset management, engineering, operations, investment planning or another relevant environment.
More important is your ability to think strategically, understand complex issues and bring people together to make good decisions.

You’re likely to be someone who:

- builds trusted relationships and works collaboratively

Why join Anglian Water?
This is an opportunity to have a real influence on how an organisation thinks about, invests in and manages its assets.  This could be Enterprise wide or specific to one of our business streams.

You’ll work with people from across the organisation, bringing together different perspectives and expertise. And you’ll have the scope to challenge established thinking, develop new approaches and help shape what excellent asset management looks like for the future.
