Senior Consultant – Asset Management (Water Sector)

Job Description

The UK water sector is delivering its most ambitious investment cycle in decades. In AMP8 water companies must deliver major capital upgrades, reduce storm overflow spills, strengthen asset resilience and accelerate progress towards net zero. This is happening in a tighter regulatory environment, under intense public and environmental scrutiny.

At AMCL, we are at the centre of this transformation - supporting water and wastewater companies to make better investment decisions, improve asset health, unlock operational efficiencies and deliver outcomes that matter to customers and the environment.

The Opportunity

We are looking for Senior Asset Management Consultants to play a leading role in our UK water sector frameworks. You will work directly alongside Water and Wastewater Companies, helping them navigate AMP8 delivery challenges and implement asset management frameworks aligned with Ofwat expectations, ISO 55001:2024 and whole-life value principles.

This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about enabling better infrastructure decisions, enjoys working at the intersection of strategy, engineering and data, and wants to make a meaningful difference to the future of the water sector. Delivery will be a blend of secured frameworks on-site and discrete projects.

• Undertake asset management maturity assessments using the IAM 10-box model, GFMAM and ISO standards using AMCL recognised tools and methodologies.
• Support clients with the adoption and transition to ISO 55001:2024, ensuring strong governance, lifecycle alignment and data-driven decisions.

Drive Asset Performance & Whole-Life Value

• Lead lifecycle and TotEx optimisation activities, developing evidence-based investment strategies and long-term plans.
• Improve asset information quality, maturity and use of analytics for value-based asset management decision making.

Shape AMP8+ Outcomes

• Deliver AMP8 framework commitments through strategic asset planning, risk-based investment prioritisation and operational resilience improvements.
• Undertake asset management maturity assessments using the regulator endorsed methodologies.
• Develop asset health enhancement approaches that help clients move from reactive to proactive asset management.

Qualifications

• 5+ years’ experience within asset management, strategy & planning, reliability engineering or performance improvement – preferably within regulated sectors such as water, energy, transport or defence.
• Strong understanding of the UK water regulatory landscape (e.g., Ofwat, PR14-PR24, performance commitments, asset health measures).
• Ability to interpret asset and performance data, to inform decisions.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to deliver practical, evidence-based recommendations.
• Confident communicator capable of engaging with engineers, analysts and executive leaders.
• Collaborative mindset and comfort working across AMCL, Turner & Townsend and client organisations.
