At United Utilities, we're delivering one of the largest and most ambitious capital investment programmes in the UK, investing in the future of water, wastewater and environmental improvement across the North West.

As part of this transformation, we're looking for a Telemetry Coordinator to play a critical role in ensuring our operational technology, telemetry and control systems are ready to support the successful delivery and handover of new assets.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with experience in telemetry, SCADA, commissioning, operational handover or technical project coordination who wants to work at the centre of major infrastructure projects that make a real difference to millions of customers and the environment.

Why This Role Matters

Telemetry is fundamental to the safe and efficient operation of our water and wastewater networks.

As a Telemetry Coordinator, you'll ensure telemetry systems are planned, tracked, tested and accepted in line with programme requirements, enabling successful commissioning and operational takeover of critical assets.

Acting as the link between project teams, operational teams, commissioning specialists and technical stakeholders, you'll help ensure projects are delivered safely, compliantly and on time.

This is a planning, assurance and coordination role with significant visibility across our Capital Delivery Programme and the opportunity to influence outcomes on some of the most important projects in the business.

• Monitor project progress and identify risks, issues and constraints.

• Escalate resource challenges and programme risks to the Telemetry Lead where required.

Managing Delivery Performance

• Provide clear visibility of programme progress, risks and upcoming milestones.

• Support effective planning and prioritisation across a diverse portfolio of projects.

• Drive accountability and timely delivery across all stakeholders.

Supporting Continuous Improvement

Protecting Operational Takeover Success

• Ensure telemetry deliverables support operational readiness and regulatory commitments.

• Collaborate closely with operational stakeholders to minimise risks during handover.

• Support the successful integration of assets into the live operational environment.
