Assistant Project Manager

At Severn Trent, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re in the top 5% of utility companies worldwide when it comes to employee engagement and ranked as a Top 50 UK Employer on Glassdoor. Join us in making a positive impact on the environment and our communities, while being valued and supported in a truly inclusive workplace. 

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

 

 

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW 
 

Are you an Assistant Project Manager, or a Project Engineer with a technical background, looking for 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 Capital Delivery Team at our Finham office. 

As an Assistant Project Manager, you’ll be responsible for supporting the day-to-day management and safety of projects. You’ll be competent in the six aspects of a project, i.e. scope, schedule, finance, risk, quality and resources.

It would be preferred if you have previous experience of working in construction or the water industry. Don’t worry if you don’t have a background in the construction/utility sector – we welcome anyone with the relevant transferable skills and a can-do attitude.

Having a driving licence is essential due to the remote locations you will be supporting (this role will involve travel to various sites).

 



WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR 
 

Ideally, you’ll hold an APM or Prince 2 Foundation qualification, however it's not essential. If you have some exposure to the NEC project management framework this would be advantageous.

You'll have a strong ability to build successful working relationships with internal and external stakeholders from a diverse range of backgrounds, with the ability to innovate and anticipate unexpected issues and challenges as they arise. 

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. 

 



HOW WE’LL REWARD AND CARE FOR YOU 

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 additional days per year)  

  • Annual bonus scheme (of up to £2,250 depending 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  

  • Electric vehicle scheme and retail offers 

  • Family friendly policies (including a year off fully paid maternity and adoption leave) 

  • Two volunteering days per year
