Description

Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland.

Scottish Water have an exciting and rewarding opportunity within the South Risk & Lifecyle Planning Team to become a Wastewater Asset Planner, primarily covering the Borders area.

The role of Asset Planner within the Strategic Customer Service Planning (SCSP) Directorate is to understand asset performance and risk to support the delivery of customer focussed interventions.

We are looking for someone to help shape strategies for the future, while involving stakeholders at all levels within and out with the business.

This is an interesting role where you will be given the opportunity to enhance your technical and people skills by interacting with various areas of the Scottish Water business.

You will be empowered to make decisions and take ownership for the assets you are responsible for while working in a collaborative and dynamic environment.

This allows us to transform how we work and empower smarter investment choices which enable sustainable and inclusive economic growth to support a flourishing Scotland.
