What do you get if you cross an award-winning, innovative water company with over 300 dedicated team members? Our Capital Delivery team, of course!

Our ambitious and innovative projects (all 5000+ of them) help to combat challenges in waste and water infrastructure, flooding, and water quality. Be 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

Are you a Junior/Assistant Project Manager, or a Project Engineer with a strong technical background, looking for a new and exciting challenge to step into?

Within our Capital Design and Delivery department, we are looking for an Assistant Project Manager to join the Water Treatment Delivery Team at our Shelton (Shrewsbury) office.

As our Assistant Project Manager, you’ll be accountable for delivering key project KPIs across a portfolio of large capital engineering and construction projects in water treatment.

You will undertake financial management of projects, manage risks, and liaise with project stakeholders at all levels. Initially, you’ll focus on less complex and low-risk projects, with support to help you grow and take on more responsibility.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

You should be qualified in a technical engineering or construction-related discipline, with contractual management experience being a key aspect. Exposure to the NEC project management framework would be an asset.

Ideally, you will have experience in the utilities and/or infrastructure sectors. You should have a strong ability to build successful relationships with internal and external stakeholders from diverse backgrounds, and the ability to innovate and anticipate challenges.

You’ll hold a Full UK driving licence due to the remote location of some operational sites.

We value the right character, positivity, and a caring attitude as much as technical skills. We welcome people from all walks of life, celebrating individuality and diversity, as they help us serve our communities better.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

Working here isn’t just a job; it’s a career. We offer a range of benefits recognizing great work, alongside award-winning training to help you reach your potential. We also support you in caring for the environment and communities.

Some of our perks include:

• 28 days holiday + bank holidays (with options to buy/sell up to 5 days)
• Annual bonus scheme (up to £2,250 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 discount
• Dedicated training and development through our ‘Academy’
• Electric vehicle scheme and retail offers
• Family-friendly policies
• Two volunteering days per year
