Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland. Howâs this for job satisfaction: at Scottish Water we look after Scotland's most precious natural resource. From source to tap, weâre guarding Scotlandâs reputation for refreshingly pure water, and caring for our environment at the same time. Naturally, the work we do is closely regulated. Our Wastewater Strategy & Environmental Team (WWS&ER) play a pivotal role in building trust with our external stakeholders and regulators. Right now, weâre looking for an Environmental Regulation Analyst to join the team. What youâll do  As an Environmental Regulations Analyst, youâll support the business to meet its environmental regulatory reporting requirements and provide environmental regulatory support, advice and guidance to the business. Youâll become a subject matter expect for reporting requirements and the tools we use for reporting. Many of your customers will be Scottish Water people â we like to keep them happy. But youâll also work closely with our Environmental Regulator, SEPA and other external stakeholders, who we want to build great relationships with too. Youâll be working across teams to support the delivery of regulatory returns, responses to regulatory communications and information requests linked to reporting requirements and input to specific projects. And then thereâs the data. Thereâs always data. Youâll co-ordinate the collation, review and analysis of data for reporting, keeping systems and trackers used for reporting up to date, creating reports and updates people can understand. What you'll need You'll have a general understanding of European and UK environmental legislation, particularly Scottish regulations and the regulatory framework within which Scottish Water operates. An understanding of environmental regulatory reporting requirements would be handy, but this is not essential. It would be handy if you have a qualification in a scientific discipline, but itâs not a must-have if you have equivalent experience. Building and maintaining good relationships and collaboration with stakeholders will be the key to success. So, youâll need to be confident and have great communication and collaboration skills. Youâll be the kind of person thatâs able to naturally build strong working relationships. Data collation, review and analysis is a big part of the job, so youâll need a great analytical brain and practical experience of data analysis. Lots of this is digital-first, so your IT skills will be solid too. That should include experience using MS Office to create reports, spreadsheets, presentations, guidance and/or internal processes. Youâll need to be able to delve into the detail, interpret and analyse complex information, so youâll need to be able to think critically, solve problems and relay information in an engaging, coherent and accessible way. Youâll need to attend some key meetings face-to-face and make site visits throughout Scotland, so youâll need to hold a full UK driving licence. Looking out for you  While the work we do is important, itâs not the only thing that matters. Thatâs why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance. This role is full time (35 hours per week), Monday to Friday with a flexible work pattern.

You can also take paid time off to volunteer in your community. When it comes to major life events, we have family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave. And for the everyday? Applications with part time or flexible working requirements will also be considered. For your future, thereâs our pension (the âknow-what-youâll-get-when-you-retireâ kind), as well as life assurance. As for some nice extras? You can expect an annual company bonus. Not to mention access to SW Splash â handy rewards that can save you money on holidays, bills, and shopping.  The not-so-small print  This role will be a Grade 6.
