Ready to take charge of a system that quite literally keeps things flowing? We’re looking for an Enterprise Control System Lead to own, evolve, and champion a critical new platform that will control and monitor our new Strategic Pipeline – a huge infrastructure project enabling the diversion of water supply from wetter north regions to the drier south.

• The ability to translate complex tech into clear, actionable insight 

• Confidence working across diverse teams and influencing senior stakeholders 

• A passion for continuous improvement, innovation, and digital transformation 

Why this role?  

This isn’t just another leadership role—it’s your chance to: 

• Build and shape a business-critical platform from the ground up 

• Influence strategy, standards, and future investment 

• Work on a programme delivering real impact on water resilience and sustainability  

• Lead change in a space where technology meets essential services 

We’re after someone who’s curious, collaborative, and not afraid to challenge the norm—someone who can inspire others, bring clarity to complexity, and make big ideas happen. If this sounds like you then don’t hesitate to apply
