Join us in making a positive impact on the environment and our communities, while being valued and supported in a truly inclusive workplace.

If you want to do more, because you care, we want you on our team.

Everything you need to know

Based out of either our Finham office (Coventry) or Shelton office (Shrewsbury) and reporting directly to the Lead Project Manager, the Project Manager will be accountable for delivering on key project KPIs across a portfolio of large capital engineering and construction clean water delivery projects within Severn Trent’s Capital and Commercial Services business area.

Within our Capital Design and Delivery department, we are looking for a Project Manager to join the Water Infra delivery team.

What you'll bring to the role

With relevant industry experience in mechanical and/or electrical engineering, and ideally degree-qualified (or working towards), you will be a forward-thinking and innovative Project Manager capable of managing multiple capital engineering works with significant mechanical and electrical components.

You will have experience of managing NEC contracts, with a proven track record in cost planning, budgetary control, and technical delivery of MEICA systems. Knowledge of instrumentation, control systems, and automation technologies is highly desirable.

You will be a dynamic and collaborative leader with excellent communication and influencing skills. You will have a strong ability to build successful working relationships with internal and external stakeholders from a diverse range of backgrounds, and hold a relentless drive for continuous improvement, with the ability to innovate and anticipate unexpected issues and challenges as they arise.

Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity, and a caring attitude matter too. We welcome and celebrate diverse individuals, knowing they help us better serve our communities. We seek people who get involved, want to be part of something bigger, and make a difference because they care.

How we'll reward and care for you

It's not just a job; it's a career. We offer benefits that reward great work and award-winning training to help you reach your potential. Plus, you'll contribute to the environment and community too.

• 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 (including a year off fully paid maternity and adoption leave)
