Job Category: Value Delivery Consultant

Value Delivery Consultant Wastewater Systems

 

The Challenge

UK wastewater utilities confront ageing pipes failing under climate extremes, regulatory mandates to dramatically cut CSO spills, and £multi-billion AMP8 investments that must deliver resilience, nature-based solutions, and circular resource recovery, while keeping bills affordable amid public scrutiny and Net |Zero deadlines.

Your Impact

As a Value Delivery Consultant at BMA, you will work at the heart of the UK's wastewater sector transformation — using the Decisio™ platform to model and optimise raw and potable water systems for utility clients. You will translate complex regulatory and operational requirements into data-driven scenarios that balance ecology, affordability, resilience, and Net Zero goals. You will work with digital business twins to drive circular economy breakthroughs, pioneering AI-optimised nature-based solutions and turning wastewater into a resilient, revenue-generating asset amid the biggest sustainability pivot ever.   You will translate regulations into actionable data driven scenarios that balance ecology, affordability, resilience, and net-zero goals for UK water giants and other stakeholders.

While initially focused on wastewater, you will have access to broader opportunities across raw water, potable systems, bioresources, and energy infrastructure clients.

Responsibilities

• The role will require you to be part of a rapidly growing company that has a wide-ranging customer base spread across numerous industry verticals in the water, wastewater & energy sectors, amongst others.
• Drive customer and stakeholder satisfaction through proactive understanding of client business requirements, translating them into modelling solutions. This role is primarily customer-facing.
• Lead and attend workshop sessions with business stakeholders from time to time to determine business requirements for end-use cases to be deployed.
• Inform clients' strategic Resource Management Plans and Long-Term Delivery Strategies, ensuring alignment with regulatory requirements and industry best practices, using the Decisio™ platform.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to support systems planning, offering guidance on efficiency optimisation, energy production enhancement, and resilience planning during critical asset unavailability.
• Learn the core technologies used by BMA and become familiar with the BMA’s proprietary Decision Intelligence software platform, Decisio™, to create detailed digital representations of clients' connected asset systems.
• Gather, transform, and validate data to design, as well as to make use of available technologies to build and validate solution behaviour.
• Conduct comprehensive scenario analysis and network design optimisation to enhance system performance, efficiency, and resilience, considering various operational constraints, environmental factors, and the strategic ambitions of the client.
• Understand existing mathematical models and develop additional logic to meet both internal and clients’ requirements.
• Participate in all aspects of system development, testing, deployment, and feedback with the overarching objective to further enhance and develop Decisio™ for the benefit of the Company and its customers (this could require interaction with other company employees geographically situated around the world).

Essential Criteria

• Bachelor's Degree, or higher, in Mathematics, Engineering, Water Engineering, Water Sciences, Data Science, Statistical/Decision Sciences, or STEM equivalent.
• Proficiency in advanced analytics and Data Science: statistical analysis, forecasting, predictive modelling, and optimisation algorithms.
• Strong Microsoft Excel skills, plus familiarity with MS SQL Server, Python, R, linear programming, and optimisation technologies.
• Track record of driving innovation, delivering tangible results, and thriving in fast-paced environments.
• Exceptional communication: translating complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience collaborating across cross-functional teams.

Advantageous

 

• Hands-on experience with wastewater processes, combined sewer overflow (CSO) systems, and operational challenges.
• Deep knowledge of wastewater regulatory requirements (eg. PR24) and industry best practices.
• Proven scenario analysis, optimisation modelling, and investment planning – balancing technical, economic, and environmental factors.
• AI/ML experience: machine learning models, neural networks, or AI-driven decision systems for infrastructure optimisation.
• AI platform familiarity: working with AI-powered planning tools, digital twin platforms, or decision intelligence systems.

Personal Characteristics

• Passion for leveraging technology and quantitative analysis for real-world environmental benefits.
• Commitment to tech-driven sustainability in water/wastewater sectors.
• Strong critical and creative thinking with ambition to drive meaningful change.
• Pragmatic, goal-oriented, self-motivated, and continuous learner.
• Energised by flexible workloads and direct client interaction.
