We’re looking for an experienced Asset Risk & Performance Analyst to join a specialist Asset Health, Risk & Performance team within a major UK utilities organisation.

This is a chance to work at the heart of critical national infrastructure—helping shape how water, wastewater, and bioresources assets are managed, maintained, and invested in for the future.

If you enjoy turning complex data into meaningful insight that influences real operational and strategic decisions, this role offers that in a highly visible and impactful environment.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll play a key role in developing and refining asset risk and performance insight that supports long-term planning, investment decisions, and operational resilience.
Your work will include:
  • Analysing complex, multi-source datasets to support asset risk models, maintenance strategies, and system planning
  • Assessing asset performance and risk across infrastructure networks and asset groups
  • Building and maintaining robust, auditable risk models to support investment and resilience planning
  • Modelling failure likelihood and consequences across different scenarios to inform strategic decisions
  • Supporting the development of asset management plans, monitoring frameworks, and performance reporting
  • Producing clear, stakeholder-ready outputs including reports, GIS visualisations, risk summaries, and performance insights
  • Contributing to regulatory submissions and long-term investment planning frameworks
  • Working closely with engineering, operations, regulation, health & safety, and delivery partners
  • Engaging with external stakeholders such as infrastructure partners and local authorities where required
  • Applying asset management best practice aligned with ISO 55000 standards
About You

You’ll likely come from an engineering, infrastructure, asset management, or technically focused analytical background, ideally within a regulated or complex operational environment.

You’ll bring:
  • Strong experience working with large, complex datasets and delivering meaningful analytical insight
  • A solid understanding of asset risk, performance management, or infrastructure lifecycle planning
  • Confidence working with spatial data tools such as ArcGIS / ESRI platforms
  • Exposure to statistical analysis or modelling tools such as R or Python (desirable)
  • The ability to communicate technical findings clearly to a range of stakeholders
  • A collaborative approach with experience working across engineering, operations, or delivery teams
  • Strong analytical thinking, structured problem-solving, and attention to detail
  • Experience within utilities, infrastructure, or similarly regulated environments (desirable)
Candidates with experience in sectors such as large infrastructure programmes (e.g. HS2), environmental delivery, transport, energy, or utilities are strongly encouraged to apply.

What’s on Offer
  • Salary up to ~£47,000 depending on experience
  • 26 days annual leave (rising with service) + bank holidays
  • Performance-related bonus scheme
  • Defined contribution pension scheme
  • Health and wellbeing support including counselling, physiotherapy, and health checks
  • Cycle to Work scheme, retail discounts, and life assurance
Additional Information
  • Hybrid working model
  • Full-time role (36 hours per week, Monday–Friday)
  • Travel to operational sites may be required
  • Driving licence and access to a vehicle preferred
You’ll be joining a large-scale infrastructure organisation responsible for delivering essential services to millions of people every day.  This is a collaborative, forward-thinking environment where data, engineering insight, and asset strategy come together to improve resilience, performance, and long-term sustainability across critical water systems.

If you want your analysis to directly influence how vital infrastructure is planned, maintained, and improved, this is a strong opportunity to do exactly that.
