We are innovative…
That's why we need people like you to help us. People who enjoy finding new ways to solve problems and get things done.

As a proud partner to South East Water, we are looking for an experienced Supervisor to join our team.

This is a people-focused role where you'll lead by example, driving performance across Health, Safety, Environment, Quality, Fleet, Operational Delivery and Customer Experience. You'll be confident managing teams, ensuring compliance, and continuously looking for ways to improve how we work and the service we deliver.

Here are some of the activities you will be involved in…

• Lead and inspire operational teams, always putting safety first.
• Ensure colleagues receive the training and support they need to stay competent and compliant.
• Promote a right first time approach to reduce rework and customer complaints.
• Plan and manage upcoming works to minimise disruption and avoid preventable issues.
• Review and approve contractor risk assessments and method statements.
• Carry out regular safety audits, spotting hazards and implementing improvements.
• Oversee vehicles and drivers, ensuring adherence to company standards and the Highway Code.
• Support additional operational requirements, including overtime when site teams are working at weekends, standby cover for weekend teams, and night working when night connections are being undertaken.

We would love to hear from you if…

You are a strong people manager, able to motivate teams and manage performance with confidence. Clear communication and diplomacy will come naturally to you, and you'll be comfortable making independent decisions, even when balancing client expectations with business priorities.

Experience in a supervisory role within the utilities or water sector will be essential, along with a sound understanding of health and safety. An IOSH qualification is desirable, and you should also hold (or be working towards) a minimum SSSTS, with SMSTS preferred.

A Streetworks Supervisor card and a CSCS Gold Card (Supervisor) are also important for this role, together with training in safe excavations. You'll bring with you a strong working knowledge of the water industry—particularly mainlaying processes—and an understanding of how projects are delivered safely and efficiently from start to finish.
