What we do:

Everyone has an idea of what a water company does. Here in Yorkshire, we make sure that over 5.4 million people living in the region and the millions of people who visit our region each year, can rely on our services, and have clean and safe drinking water on tap and that their wastewater is taken away. But for us, it’s so much more than this.

We look after communities, protect the environment, and plan to look after Yorkshire’s water, today, tomorrow 24/7, 365 days a year. We provide essential water and wastewater services to every corner of the Yorkshire region, and play a key role in the region’s health, wellbeing, and prosperity.

New environmental legislation, unprecedented levels of investment and changing expectations from customers means that this is an exciting time to discover opportunities within the water industry. Demand Management are a key part of how we plan to meet the changing expectations of customers and regulators.

You’ll take end-to-end ownership of the customer journey, working directly with customers to resolve leakage issues on private pipework, using innovative technology and proactive detection methods. This is a hands-on role where you’ll combine technical skills, problem-solving, and customer engagement to make a real impact.

Where you fit in:

  • Deliver excellent face-to-face customer service, owning problems through to resolution.
  • Detect and investigate customer side leakage to meet performance targets.
  • Promote and validate repair work with service partners to ensure cost-effective solutions.
  • Carry out accurate surveys and support legal enforcement processes (s.75).
  • Use advanced leakage detection equipment and corporate systems (e.g., Temetra, Netbase).
  • Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to drive efficiency and innovation.
  • Maintain the highest standards of health and safety and customer experience.

What skills & qualifications you will need:

  • Strong communication and influencing skills with a customer-first mindset.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Problem-solving skills and confidence to make decisions.
  • Technical aptitude for leak detection and data interpretation.
  • Full clean driving licence, no more than 6 points

Although we operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it’s important to us that we support flexible working patterns and job share options (when we can), to help you make the best of both your work and home life. We know that juggling childcare responsibilities or getting that ideal work/life balance isn’t always easy!

Do we sound like your cup of tea?
