Steve Youell – Board Member
Head of Emergency Planning & Security at Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water
Steve has worked in the water industry for over 20 years, originally joining Portsmouth Water as a Laboratory Technician, and holding a number of other roles including Water Quality Scientist and Distribution Project Manager.
He joined DWI in 2014 where part of his responsibilities was liaising with the sector on emergency planning and security and more recently leading on the implementation of the Network & Information Systems (NIS) Regulations.
In 2020 he joined Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water as their Head of Emergency Planning and Security. He has a BSc. (Hons) in Applied Science from Portsmouth University and is a Chartered Environmentalist and Chartered Scientist.
Steve joined IWater as a member almost two decades ago in 2006. He is a volunteer CPD and Professional Registration Assessor. Steve credits IWater as one of the main reasons behind his career development and is, therefore, more than happy to talk about membership benefits to anyone who needs a ‘case study’.
