Job description

Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland.

At Scottish Water, our purpose is to support a flourishing Scotland by looking after Scotland's most precious natural resource, from source to tap. We keep Scotland supplied with world class water, as well as care for our environment every minute of every day. The teams across Scotland strive to ensure high standards are met and we are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Project Manager to join our Capital Investment DV2 West Regional Hub Team in our Stepps , Glasgow office.

The role within our West Regional Hub involves working on delivering a variety of different project types on new and existing assets, to ensure they are remediated to meet the relevant Scottish Water standards and specifications. The role covers all stages of the project lifecycle, working collaboratively with internal and external team members to ensure successful project delivery at a high level of performance.

What You'll Do

As a Project Manager, you will be responsible for managing the delivery of a portfolio of civil, mechanical and electrical projects, covering all stages of the project lifecycle. You'll be working towards budgets and output performance, and you will prepare monthly updates for the portfolio of projects which include status of out-turn costs, milestone completion dates and timely resource demands within our integrated reporting system, Unifier. You'll be motivated to create trusted relationships with key stakeholders in a Regional Hub: the client (Environment, Planning & Assurance), the operator (Customer Services Delivery), Third Parties through SSD (Specialist Service Delivery), the customer and the area integrated team. Decision making is an important part of this job as well as monitoring performance of Consultants and Commercial Partners, acting where necessary in respect of their health and safety (H&S), project management and delivery performance. You will also assist with compliance, in relation to appropriate governance approvals; preparing papers and supporting information as required within Unifier; meet Quality and Environmental legislative requirements and ensure project targets deliver the achievement of Critical Success Factors, as laid down in the Investment Delivery Business Plan. This role is suitable for hybrid working and we bring our team together every Wednesday in our Stepps office. The nature of this role will also require monthly travel to project sites; therefore, a full driving licence is required.

What You'll Need

We are looking for someone who has a qualification to Degree, HND or HNC level in Engineering, Project Management or equivalent. You will be able to demonstrate the successful management and delivery of projects, with water industry experience which is preferred but not essential. Previous project NEC commercial and financial management experience would also be advantageous. An understanding of both statutory H&S regulations and the application of Engineering Forms of contract would be invaluable. However, we are able to provide training and development in these areas. A general understanding of MS Office applications such as Word, Excel, Outlook, and email correspondence systems would be beneficial. We are looking for a strong communicator who has proven ability to work with stakeholders and has experience of customer engagement as well as proven experience of planning and setting performance milestones.

Looking out for you

• You get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays).
• And you can even buy five more if you need a little extra time.
• You can also take paid time off to volunteer in your community.
• When it comes to major life events we have family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave.
• And for the everyday? We embrace flexible working.
• For your future, there's our pension (the 'know-what-you'll-get-when-you-retire' kind), as well as life assurance.
• As for some nice extras? You will participate in a company bonus scheme.
• Not to mention access to SW Splash - handy rewards that can save you money on holidays, bills, and shopping.
