What do you get if you cross an award-winning, innovative water company and £566m? Strategic Capital Projects of course!

Make a difference in your career. Our ambitious and innovative projects will help combat the challenges of climate change, flooding, and water quality. Be a 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

We’re looking for a Project Manager to join our Bathing Rivers project as part of the Green Recovery programme at our Finham, Coventry office.

You will play an essential role in transforming 49km of rivers, providing new leisure and fitness opportunities for people by enabling safe swimming. The project also offers environmental benefits such as increased biodiversity and aquatic life.

You’ll be responsible for managing project risks, providing financial updates, and maintaining commercial controls throughout the programme, while defining appropriate products, standards, and timescales to ensure delivery on time and within budget.

You will actively engage with the Project Senior Management Team and effectively manage stakeholders across the business, communicating project deliverables clearly.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

The successful candidate will have experience leading projects within utilities, construction, rail, highways, or similar sectors. Ideally, you will have some experience working with NEC3/4, though this is not essential.

The role is comprehensive, with a significant focus on managing contracts and negotiations involved in the process.

We value the right skills and experience, but also the right character, positivity, and a caring attitude. We welcome people from all backgrounds, believing that diversity helps us serve our communities better.

We seek individuals who are proactive, involved, and eager to make a difference because they care. Is that you?

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

Working here isn’t just a job. You can build a career at Severn Trent. We’ll reward you with a range of benefits and award-winning training to help you reach your potential. We also support your efforts to look after the environment and communities.

Some of our perks include:

• 28 days holiday + bank holidays (with options to buy/sell up to 5 days per year)
• Annual bonus scheme (up to £2,250 per year based on performance)
• Leading pension scheme – we double your contribution (up to 15% when you contribute 7.5%)
• Sharesave – buy Severn Trent Plc shares at a discounted rate
• Dedicated training and development via our ‘Academy’
• Electric vehicle scheme and retail offers
• Family-friendly policies
• Two volunteering days per year
