As part of this growth in demand, we are seeking an experienced Director level consultant to join our team of highly talented consultants, working on the pursuit and delivery of digital transformation consulting services in the Water sector as well as providing subject matter expertise, capability development and intellectual capital.

The work:

No matter the project or customer, your work will have a meaningful impact on society, businesses and lives. It’s really rewarding. And it’s also really varied. You’ll potentially work on a huge variety of projects (some larger than others), so you could gain lots of experience in a short amount of time.

Collaboration and Innovation:

We really believe in creating a partnership with our customers. Using our Accelerated Solutions Environment (ASE), you’ll get to know the customer’s needs and challenges, demo innovative solutions and quickly solve problems. It’ll help you discover unexpected answers together.

To meet the demands of both the regulators and increasingly savvy consumers, companies in the water industry across the UK are investing millions in Opex and Capex improvements and operational digital transformation. Given the scale of investment there is a very strong focus from regulators, investors and the companies alike to ensure these programmes are delivered effectively, drive out efficiency at all levels and that the change is both adopted and sustained.

As a result, we are seeing a significant increase in demand for our teams who are already working with major utilities organisations. We have built a successful track record of delivering leading edge transformational digital change which is adopted and embedded into our utilities clients. Capgemini brings to bear vast utilities experience, a strong business improvement skillset, business change capability, an understanding of technology and a highly collaborative approach.
