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.

We are looking for a Manager of Asset Information & Insights to lead our asset intelligence capability. This is a strategically important leadership role, responsible for establishing asset data, information standards and providing independent assurance that asset data used across business functions is trusted and decision-ready.

• Lead the Asset Intelligence Strategy and Asset Information Strategy (AIS), setting clear governance, standards, ownership and continual improvement aligned to the SAMP, Asset Management Policy, ISO 55001 and regulatory expectations.
• Establish and operate a formal assurance framework for asset information and insight, including standards, controls and assurance over key data, information flows, analytical outputs and supporting processes.
• Ensure only trusted, decision-ready and traceable information is used to develop, refresh and assure the next-generation SAMP and related asset management artefacts, translating organisational objectives into evidence-based asset management objectives.
• Maintain clear line of sight from objectives to asset information requirements, asset health insight and investment/operational decisions, ensuring analytics demonstrably support customer, resilience, environmental, compliance and value outcomes.
• Lead the asset intelligence framework and capability for performance, condition, asset health indicators and predictive models, strengthening data quality, information assurance and asset knowledge management across the asset lifecycle.
