Package: Starting at £48,030 (depending on your suitability, qualifications, and level of experience)

Role and responsibilities

As a Project Manager, you would be responsible to deliver assigned projects across our power, water, heating, and other utilities. At times this will include integrating new with old infrastructure, to time, cost and quality, compliant with AWE processes. This role often requires delivery at pace to support the delivery of the AWE mission. Project Managers will be expected to work in roles which require an awareness and compliance to the nuclear license conditions.

This role requires an individual who can readily attend AWE on site to build and maintain high quality teams and stakeholder relationships. However, AWE offers agile flexible working arrangements, therefore elements of the role can be delivered through remote working.

What we are looking for

We are looking for someone adaptable who can show a clear background in previous project management competence. In the role you will:

• Work with our Utilities Network Managers to define, initiate and deliver projects.
• Act as a focal point for AWE stakeholders and suppliers.
• Manage projects with focus on Governance (compliance and reporting).
• Management of project resources (people, money).
• Lead the planning of the task/project.
• Lead, support and initiate change against the Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB).
• Lead, initiate and perform risk and opportunity identification and subsequent actions.
• Manage and engage with a variety of different stakeholders, at all levels.
• The Company may require you to fulfil any other reasonable duties aligned to your position from time to time in line with business needs.

Experience and qualifications

While not a tick list, we'd like you to have experience in some of the following:

• Membership of a relevant professional body.
• Previous experience working within the Utilities arena
• An understanding of Utilities Operations would be advantageous
• Able to build and maintain effective internal and external working relationships.
• Able to read, analyse and interpret charts, spreadsheets, schedules and technical drawings.
• Provide clear and concise communications, both oral and written, at multiple levels.
• Compile and present presentations to peers and Senior Managers.
• Build good team morale and spirit and motivate others.

You'll need to have the ability to work calmly and constructively in a priority changing environment and be able to manage your own workload. You will also have initiative, enthusiasm, a flexible approach, and ability to work to tight deadlines.

Benefits and why join us

Some reasons we think you'll love it here:

• 9-day working fortnight - meaning you get every other Friday off work, in addition to 270 hours of annual leave.
• Market leading contributory pension scheme (we will pay between 9% and 13% of your pensionable pay depending on your contributions).
• Family friendly policies: Maternity Leave - 39 Weeks Full Pay and Paternity Leave - 4 Weeks Full Pay.
• Opportunities for Professional Career Development including funding for annual membership of a relevant professional body.
