Asset Planner
South East Water Uk
Supplies treated drinking water across southeast England via an extensive pipe network.
Asset Planner responsible for managing asset risks, ensuring regulatory compliance, and delivering business needs using Asset Management processes and systems. Works across all parts of the business to identify gaps in the performance of above-ground and underground assets, and develops long-term, costed programs of work to improve water quality, increase resilience, reduce leakage, and support population growth.
You will work within a team of planners, working to business objectives to manage asset risks, ensuring regulatory compliance, and delivering the needs of the business.
You will work closely with Operations, and other functional areas in defining critical operational interventions and maintenance requirements to maximise asset performance and asset life, whilst enabling operational efficiency.
You will support the production of a suite of Asset Management plans, identifying in AMP and the long-term investment needs at Resource Zone level for both whole life management of the existing asset base and also additional enhancements required to fulfil needs identified in wider strategic plans.
You will contribute in the wholesale plan development and production of the 5-year Business Plans, following regulatory guidelines, lessons learnt from previous submissions and direction from business-wide strategic plans such as WRMP, 25YEP and climate change projections.
You will work with business data/reporting owners to ensure that emerging risks which could impact Company targets are identified and appropriately managed in the TOTEX environment.
You will support exploration of alternative technologies and innovation for schemes ensuring risks are balanced on whole life cost, carbon and other six capitals benefits.
You will identify where gaps occur between requirements of Asset Management Strategy and current asset performance and existing investment plans, and raise these as investment needs.
You will work with the senior planners to develop appropriately costed programmes of work to address these needs and develop these into project briefs for delivery by others. These solutions should be appropriately developed so those promoted for delivery are fit for purpose, meet operational need and are the lowest whole life cost for the business.
