The Ideal Candidate

The Digital Solutions Specialist supports the improvement of Newport Water’s day-to-day

operations by helping analyze, refine, and implement more efficient business processes across

departments, using business applications, automation, and digital tools.

Working closely with the Operations Team Leader and department teams, this role focuses on

practical, hands-on process improvements - identifying inefficiencies, documenting and

simplifying workflows, and implementing solutions that reduce manual work, improve visibility,

and support lean, scalable operations.

The role combines business process awareness with digital execution capability, grounded in Lean

thinking and continuous improvement. The emphasis is on steady, incremental progress (getting

1% better every day) rather than large-scale transformation initiatives.

This is a collaborative and execution-focused role, contributing to process and system

improvements while working alongside internal stakeholders and external technical partners

where required.
