Jason Slade
IMDS Smart Metering Development Manager
Anglian Water Services
Jason has been working in the water utilities sector for approaching 18 years, with his early years involved in technical metering support roles for a leading UK-based meter manufacturer. He headed up technical support teams who had responsibility for supporting water utility customers both in the UK and across the globe. A change of role into Product Management within the company, saw him lead their strategy on product offerings for Software and Solutions, with responsibility for bringing to market a number of premium offerings, which were developed and successfully implemented for water utility customers in the UK, North American, EMEA, APAC and LATAM regions. His career move to Anglian Water in the Spring of 2021, saw him have responsibility for the planning and rollout of the company’s Smart Metering Network, along with Health and Safety governance for works taking place on network mast sites, either on Arqiva / Cellnex or 3rd party sites, including Anglian Water sites. He also leads on field operations management and RMA process, provides ordering and logistics support, installation programme and technical metering support, along with delivering training to field operation teams and has involvement with Smart Metering Innovation projects. By delivering optimised and efficient planning of the network rollout, has allowed for meter installation teams to fit meters under coverage and bring the many benefits of Smart Metering to Anglian Water customers, and accelerate the number of meters installed and sending reading data across the Smart Network towards the target of 1.1M by the end of AMP 7.
