Job description

What do you get if you cross an award winning, innovative, water company and over 300 dedicated team members? Our Capital Delivery team of course!

Our ambitious and innovative projects (all 5000+ of them) help to combat the challenges of waste and water infrastructure, flooding and water quality. Be a part of something bringing benefits to our communities, health outcomes and environment.

It could be the biggest challenge of your career. If you want to do more because you care, we’d love to talk to you.

Within our Capital Design and Delivery department, we are looking for an Assistant Project Manager to join the Water Infra Delivery Team.

Are you a Junior/Assistant Project Manager, or a Project Engineer looking for a new and exciting challenge to step into? If so, read on!

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Based in our Finham office (Coventry), the Assistant Project Manager will be responsible for day-to-day management and safety of projects. You’ll be delivering key projects within a portfolio of large capital engineering and construction water infra projects within Severn Trent’s Capital and Commercial Services business area.

You'll be managing key aspects of project delivery such as scope, schedule, finance, risk, quality and resources, as well as liaising with project stakeholders at all levels. Initially you'll focus on less complex and low risk projects and you'll be supported in every way of your journey to grow and to do more.

It would be preferred if you have previous experience of working in construction or the water industry, but don’t worry if you don’t have a background in the construction / utility sector, we welcome anyone with the relevant transferable skills and a can-do attitude.

Having a driving licence is essential as the role will involve travel to various sites.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

If you have some exposure to the NEC project management framework this would be advantageous as contractual management will be a key part of your role and ideally, you’ll hold an APM or Prince 2 Foundation qualification, however it's not essential.

You'll have a strong ability to build successful working relationships with internal and external stakeholders from a diverse range of backgrounds, with the ability to innovate and anticipate unexpected issues and challenges as they arise.

The right skills and experience are important. But if you have the right character, positivity and a caring attitude we want to talk to you, too.

We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities. We want people who show up and get involved. Those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care. Is that you?

We do more, because we care.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

It’s not just a job you’ll get here, you’ll get a career too. We have a range of benefits that reward and recognise great work and award-winning training to ensure you reach your potential. And we’ll also help you play your part in looking after the environment and the community in which we live. Here’s some of our favourites:

• 28 days holiday + bank holidays (and the ability to buy / sell up to 5 additional days per year)
• Annual bonus scheme (of up to £2,250 depending on company performance)
• Leading pension scheme – we will double your contribution (up to 15% when you contribute 7.5%)
• Sharesave – the chance to buy Severn Trent Plc shares at a discounted rate
• Electric vehicle scheme and retail offers
• Family friendly policies
• Two volunteering days per year

WHAT’S NEXT

We can’t wait to hear from you.

Before you apply, you’ll need an updated copy of your CV and about five minutes to spare.
