The Role

As Area Manager, you’ll take responsibility for organising, supporting, and managing operational teams to ensure the effective execution of work in a cost-efficient and productive manner. You’ll focus on achieving contractual requirements and meeting key performance targets around safety, quality, customer satisfaction, and delivery.

Here are some of the activities you’ll be involved in...

• Lead the delivery of new watermain installation projects, ensuring they are completed safely, on time, and to specification.
• Manage resources, labour, and plant efficiently to meet programme and budget targets.
• Oversee Health & Safety and CDM compliance on site, carrying out regular inspections and audits.
• Provide technical guidance and operational support to prevent and resolve issues.
• Promote a “right first time” approach, encouraging best practice and high standards of customer service.
• Support the development of your team, ensuring all colleagues and subcontractors are trained, competent, and compliant.

We’d love to hear from you if…

You have proven experience in the water industry, ideally within watermain installation, with a solid understanding of the regulatory and safety requirements involved in such works. A confident communicator and natural organiser, you’ll be able to lead teams, manage programmes, and ensure work is delivered to the highest standards.

NRSWA accreditation is also required, along with relevant qualifications or accreditations for watermain works within the Thames Water region (such as EUSR, SHEA Water, or NCO). IOSH or SMSTS certification would be advantageous.

You’ll be someone who leads by example, promoting a culture of safety, teamwork, and accountability, while maintaining a practical and solutions-focused approach to getting the job done.
