We’re also continuing to engage with the Welsh Government to support future decisions for Wales.
While these changes take shape, our mission remains the same: to hold water companies to account, drive performance, and ensure the sector delivers real value for customers, communities, and the environment. If you’re passionate about making a difference, this is a unique moment to join us and help shape the future of water, and together we can continue to make a positive impact.

The role is in WSP's Environmental Policy and Economics team based in our Brussels office, working globally in collaboration with colleagues across the UK and Canada. The team provides robust, impartial and influential advice on policy development and strategic response across the full policy lifecycle (policy development and assessment; implementation; review, evaluation and revision). We combine policy analysis skills with in-depth technical knowledge of environmental issues and science, and knowledge of key sectors/industries. We draw on skills from across the business and an extensive international supply chain. We are the leading consultancy in several key fields, including air quality and industrial emissions; chemicals; climate change mitigation and adaptation; water; circular economy; safety; and other fields.
