As Lead Telemetry Specialist, you will provide technical leadership for the delivery and continuous improvement of NRW’s telemetry services. These services underpin NRW’s ability to deliver critical flood risk management, incident response, and water resource management services.

You will act as NRW’s senior technical authority for telemetry systems, with end‑to‑end responsibility for platform operation, configuration, resilience, and assurance. This includes ensuring that telemetry services meet required standards for data quality, security, digital compliance, and IT governance, and that risks are actively identified and managed.

Working closely with internal teams and external suppliers, you will ensure NRW’s telemetry provision remains robust, reliable, and technically fit for purpose. Your expertise will directly support evidence‑based decision‑making, enabling effective routine operations and providing trusted data and system performance during incident and emergency response.

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.
