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

We’re looking for a Project Manager to join our Water Delivery team, based out of our Shelton (Shropshire) office.

Reporting directly to the Lead Project Manager, the Project Manager will be accountable for delivering projects on capital and maintenance work on Hafren Dyfrdwy and Severn Trent surface water reservoirs and balancing ponds. The role will focus on, but will not be confined to work on the Hafren Dyfrdwy sites in Shropshire and the successful candidate must be prepared to regularly travel to these sites.

As a Project Manager, you’ll play a key role to make sure projects stay on track, are delivered on time, within cost, and focusing on the quality of the project. You will be expected to lead a project engineer or an assistant project manager in the delivery of your programme.

You’ll manage several projects at any one time, in line with risk mitigation processes, and financially track the progress whilst managing budgets. You’ll work collaboratively with our in-house design engineers, external design consultants and delivery partners, PMO and Commercial teams, as well as monitor performance against project programmes.

You’ll ideally be degree qualified in a technical engineering discipline, qualified or working towards Chartered Engineer status and have a qualification in APM or PRINCE2. We will consider appropriate transferable experience.

You’ll be a forward thinking and innovative Project Manager handling multiple multi-million pound capital engineering and construction projects using a gated project delivery process.

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.

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.

Here are some of our favourites:

• 28 days holiday + bank holidays (and the ability to buy/ sell up to 5 days per year)
• Annual bonus scheme (of up to £2,250 per annum based 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
• Dedicated training and development with our ‘Academy’
• Electric vehicle scheme and retail offers
• Family friendly policies (including a year off fully paid maternity and adoption leave)
