The UK water sector is delivering its most ambitious investment cycle in decades. In AMP8 water companies must deliver major capital upgrades, reduce storm overflow spills, strengthen asset resilience and accelerate progress towards net zero. This is happening in a tighter regulatory environment, under intense public and environmental scrutiny.
At AMCL, we are at the centre of this transformation - supporting water and wastewater companies to make better investment decisions, improve asset health, unlock operational efficiencies and deliver outcomes that matter to customers and the environment.
The Opportunity
We are looking for Senior Asset Management Consultants to play a leading role in our UK water sector frameworks. You will work directly alongside Water and Wastewater Companies, helping them navigate AMP8 delivery challenges and implement asset management frameworks aligned with Ofwat expectations, ISO 55001:2024 and whole‑life value principles.
This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about enabling better infrastructure decisions, enjoys working at the intersection of strategy, engineering and data, and wants to make a meaningful difference to the future of the water sector. Delivery will be a blend of secured frameworks on-site and discrete projects.
