Job description

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

Our ambitious and innovative projects (all 5000+ of them) help combat the challenges of waste and water infrastructure, flooding, and water quality. Be part of something that benefits our communities, health outcomes, and the 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. There really is something for everyone here.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Are you a Junior/Assistant Project Manager, or a Project Engineer with a strong, technical background, looking for a new and exciting challenge to step into?

Within our Capital Design and Delivery department, we are looking for an Assistant Project Manager to join the Water Treatment Delivery Team at our Shelton (Shrewsbury) office.

As our Assistant Project Manager, you’ll be accountable for delivering key project KPIs across a portfolio of large capital engineering and water treatment projects.

You will undertake financial management of projects, manage risks, and liaise with project stakeholders at all levels. Initially, you'll focus on less complex and low-risk projects, with support to grow and take on more responsibilities.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

You should be qualified in a technical engineering or construction-related discipline, with contractual management experience. Exposure to the NEC project management framework would be advantageous.

Experience in the utilities and/or infrastructure sectors is preferred. You should have the ability to build successful relationships with diverse stakeholders, and the capacity to anticipate and address challenges proactively.

You must hold a Full UK driving licence due to the remote location of some operational sites.

We value the right character, positivity, and a caring attitude—if you possess these, we want to hear from you.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

Working here is more than just a job; it’s a career. We offer a range of benefits, award-winning training, and opportunities to contribute positively to the environment and communities.

• 28 days holiday + bank holidays (plus the option to buy/sell up to 5 days)
• Annual bonus scheme (up to £2,250 based on performance)
• Leading pension scheme with doubled contributions (up to 15%)
• Sharesave scheme at a discounted rate
• Dedicated training and development through our ‘Academy’
• Electric vehicle scheme and retail offers
• Family-friendly policies
• Two volunteering days per year
