We’re looking for a driven and highly capable Regulatory Delivery Lead to join our Bioresources team—leading the delivery of critical regulatory and compliance programmes that protect the environment and keep our operations running safely and effectively.

What you'll be doing 

• Leading complex, high-risk programmes driven by regulatory, environmental and operational requirements (e.g. IED)

• Turning regulatory commitments into clear, deliverable plans across operational and capital teams

• Acting as the key link between Operations, Asset Delivery, technical specialists and regulators

• Overseeing delivery progress, risks and dependencies to ensure successful outcomes

• Embedding compliance through robust assurance, audits and performance monitoring

• Engaging with stakeholders including the Environment Agency to maintain regulatory confidence

What we’re looking for

• Strong experience delivering complex programmes or projects

• Sound understanding of environmental permitting and regulatory frameworks within Water Recycling (or similar industries)

• Full UK driving licence

Desirable:

• Leadership or operational experience in water recycling or process industries

• Knowledge of H&S and process safety
