Job Description
We are fully committed to having an inclusive workforce to reflect the communities we serve. We welcome flexible working patterns for all our vacancies, including job share, so please include clearly any information regarding your preferred working arrangements on your application.
We have an exciting business improvement opportunity to resolve data quality issues and identify enhancements in our Water Quality regulatory IT systems.
Responsibilities
We are looking for an individual who has a good understanding of data auditing and who is able to identify and resolve data quality issues. You will work alongside the data quality team, producing data quality audits to identify issues, their underlying causes, and keep track of progress resolving them. You will also be expected to utilise your knowledge of data auditing to develop reports and Power BI dashboards and respond to data requests. You’ll work closely with data experts to establish efficient processes and methods to resolve problems, mainly by cross‑referencing records and documents, and visualise workload/progress using tools such as Power BI.
In addition, you will work across the Water Quality regulation teams such as permitting, compliance and reporting in close collaboration with the Regulatory Services Programme, to ensure Water Quality regulation is underpinned by good quality data sets.
Responding to incidents is a central part of what we do. You’ll have the option to take on an incident role and make yourself available to respond to incidents or provide business continuity support during an incident. This may attract an additional payment and full training will be available to support you with your incident role should you choose to have one.
Qualifications
* Educated to degree level or equivalent work experience.
* Demonstrable experience carrying out data quality checks, audits, or validation activities within structured datasets, with the ability to identify inaccuracies, inconsistencies, or missing data, investigate root causes, and support actions to resolve them.
* Proficient analytical skills with a high level of attention to detail and a methodical approach to reviewing data against agreed standards and rules.
* Ability to communicate data quality issues clearly and constructively to a range of colleagues, including non‑technical users, and work collaboratively to agree improvements.
* Good problem‑solving skills, with the ability to balance data quality requirements with operational needs.
* Well organised, able to manage competing priorities, maintain accurate records, and contribute positively to improving data quality practices across teams.
