UK water and wastewater operator serving 2.2M people across South West and Bournemouth regions
Pennon operates two regional water utilities (South West Water and Bournemouth Water) serving 2.2 million people across south-west England. The tech stack reflects operational infrastructure—SCADA, PLC, HMI, SAP, Power BI—built around industrial control and asset management. Hiring velocity is accelerating with 40 roles posted in the last 30 days, weighted heavily toward operations (17) and engineering (15), suggesting active investment in network maintenance, asset planning, and pollution-prevention execution rather than platform expansion.

The business centers on drinking water supply, wastewater treatment, and sewerage network management. Active projects span environmental compliance, sewerage network maintenance, CCTV and hydraulic surveys, and pollution and flooding reduction. Regulatory compliance, asset reliability, and operational efficiency are core focus areas.
Core systems include SCADA, PLC, and HMI for operational control; SAP for enterprise resource planning; SQL Server and Microsoft Access for data; Power BI for reporting; and Schneider Electric for automation. Adobe Creative Cloud and PRINCE2 are also in use.
