This is an exciting opportunity to gain hands-on experience across the full reservoir lifecycle while supporting the regulation of reservoir safety throughout Wales.

As a Graduate Reservoir Regulation Officer, you will be involved in a wide range of activities, including reservoir registration, risk designation, engineer appointments, safety and maintenance oversight, and reservoir decommissioning. You will support the team through data management, analysis and reporting, helping to assess compliance levels and identify trends that inform regulatory decisions.

You will also assist with enforcement activities and have opportunities to work alongside experienced professionals, including accompanying qualified civil engineers on reservoir site visits. This will provide valuable insight into reservoir inspections, safety practices and regulatory processes, while helping you develop the skills and knowledge required to progress towards becoming a Reservoir Keeper.

We are committed to supporting your professional development. You will be encouraged to take part in awareness sessions and collaborative opportunities across NRW, giving you a broader understanding of the organisation's work and helping you build a diverse range of professional skills.

This role would suit a motivated graduate who is eager to learn and make a difference. Whether you are interested in developing a career in reservoir engineering and infrastructure management, or you have strong analytical skills and an interest in using data to identify emerging patterns and trends, this role offers a unique and rewarding foundation for your future career.

As an organisation we support flexible working. You will be contracted to the nearest NRW office to your home and a suitable hybrid working pattern will be agreed on appointment. Any regular face to face meetings or training will be planned in advance.
