UK Water Industry Research (UKWIR) was established in 1993 by the UK water
industry to facilitate and manage collaborative research on ‘one voice’ issues.
UKWIR's members comprise 20 water and sewerage operators in England,
Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. We are a small team based in a central London office and our objective is to procure and ensure delivery of research projects to our members. Projects are often carried out in collaboration with government departments and regulators including Defra, the Drinking Water Inspectorate and the Environment Agency. Some work is also undertaken in collaboration with research organisations internationally.
The purpose of the role is to develop, manage and deliver UKWIR’s strategic research programme. The programme will be developed by supporting and working with UKWIR’s Programme Leads to develop, promote and answer a number of Big Questions that the industry faces. The role also comprises building relationships with potential collaborators and co-funders, managing communications and overseeing the project management of the specific projects in the programme.
The role will be a part-time position at least initially but there will be ample opportunities to develop expertise and competences as part of the role as it develops.
