What you'll do You'll play a significant role in delivering a comprehensive legal service to Scottish Water, spanning legislative and regulatory compliance and the provision of advice across a broad range of practice areas. The goal, of course, is that Scottish Water remains legally compliant and effectively manages risk across the business. In this role you will have a focus on delivering operational and legislative legal services relating to our Water and Sewerage legislation, compliance and regulation (including wholesale/retail market compliance) and management of our litigation and tribunals and environmental and health and safety prosecutions. You will be part of a team responsible for delivering a broad range of legal advice in areas such as commercial contracts, construction, procurement, commercial property, PFI, data protection and FOI, all with the aim of supporting Scottish Water in the delivery of its strategic ambitions. But delivering legal services is not enough. We want to transform so the role will also involve a focus on continual improvement in terms of customer service, cost-efficiency, quality, and collaboration, both across Scottish Water and with our external legal providers and stakeholders. We want to embed preventative lawyering as a central pillar of how we operate, and you will play a significant role in making those things a reality. What you'll bring You'll be a Scottish-qualified solicitor with a current practising certificate. You'll have in-depth knowledge of a wide range of legal and regulatory matters with a practical and collaborative approach. Ideally, you will have knowledge and experience of some of the following areas: our Water and Sewerage legislation, competition and regulation, freedom of information, health and safety law and retail market compliance. Preferably, you will also have litigation experience and gained some of that expertise providing advice in the water industry or another regulated industry. A skilled communicator, you'll have a knack for Knowing-Your-Audience. Whether you're crafting written documentation, presenting to a group or facilitating a discussion, you know how to effectively get your message across, and you don't get bogged down in "legalese" when speaking to a non-legal audience. And in all your dealings with colleagues, customers and external parties, you'll embody the Scottish Water Character - by being Bold, Responsible, Inspiring and Caring, both as a colleague and as a Leader. Looking out for you While the work we do is important, we know it's not the only thing that matters. That's why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance. This role will occasionally require you to work outside of normal working hours. But you'll get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays) - you can even buy five more if you need a little extra time and a truly flexible approach to work/life balance. You can also take time off to volunteer in your community. When it comes to major life events we have family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave. And for the everyday? We embrace flexible working. For your future, there's our defined benefit pension (the 'know-what-you'll-get-when-you-retire' kind), and generous life assurance. As for some nice extras? You can expect an annual company bonus. There is also access to SW Splash - handy rewards that can save you money on holidays, bills, and shopping. The post is full time based on 35 hours per week with flexible working hours. Applications from those wishing to apply for any working patterns, or flexible working arrangements are welcome.
