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

Our ambitious and innovative projects (all 5000+ of them) help to combat the challenges of waste and water infrastructure, flooding, and water quality. Be a part of something bringing benefits to our communities, health outcomes and 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

 

 


We are currently on the lookout for a PMO Programme Controller to join our Capital team to be based at either our Finham, Coventry or Raynesway, Derby office.


You’ll play a key part in ensuring the successful delivery of our capital programmes by ensuring that controls such as governance are implemented and maintained throughout the project’s lifespan.


You’ll provide assurance that programmes will deliver their objectives to schedule, through high quality governance groups and reporting. As well as this, you’ll undertake reporting, quality control, financial tracking, risk and issue tracking, change control and benefits tracking.


Some of your key accountabilities will be:  

  • Lead the management of robust reporting and analysis of one of our key programmes within our Capital Delivery & Commercial portfolio. 
  • Champion the use of reporting and analytical methods to maintain a consistent, data-driven approach to Project and Programme Management.
  • Ensure data accuracy is upheld, increasing stakeholder confidence in our reporting output 
  • Act as a critical friend to Design, Delivery and Commercial stakeholders when assessing the health and deliverability of the programme and its commitments. 
  • Presenting key programme insights to senior leaders and portfolio boards.   
  • Support the programme in managing and mitigating key threats whilst identifying and exploiting opportunities  


 

 

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

 


Our new PMO Controller will bring experience of working within a programme management environment, whilst having a strong understanding of project controls such as financial, risk, and benefits management.

 

You’ll have solid knowledge of working in Excel and Power Bi and it would be great if you have some experience of using tools such as Primavera P6 and MSP, however this is not essential. 


The right skills and experience are important. But if you have the right character, positivity and a caring attitude we want to talk to you, too.


We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities. We want people who show up and get involve. Those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care. Is that you?

Working here isn’t just a job. You can build a career at Severn Trent. We’ll reward you for it, too. We have a range of benefits that recognise great work, and award-winning training to help you reach your potential.

And we’ll also help you play your part in looking after the environment and the communities where we live.


With that in mind, here are just some of our favourite's perks that you’ll get being part of the Seven Trent family:  

  • 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)
