PMO Support

 

LET’S CUT STRAIGHT TO IT

 

At Severn Trent, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re in the top 5% of utility companies worldwide for employee engagement, and we’re equally proud of our strong Glassdoor score — reflecting how much our people love working here.  

 

Join us to make 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. 

 

LET’S TELL YOU MORE

 

If you take pride in delivering to deadlines and have worked in a programme or project environment with Agile experience then read on, as this is the role for you.

 

We are searching for a PMO Support to join our team within Technology. This role will directly contribute to the successful delivery of change, through effective and efficient PMO support and assurance across both traditional and agile methodologies.

 

With proven experience of delivering a wide range of delivery support services, you’ll have the skills and knowledge to conduct project health checks, support audits, facilitate meetings and deliver mentoring/coaching to colleagues across the business.

 

Your key accountabilities in helping us will be:

 

  • Assure and coach in the application of approved Project Management standards and Agile best practice principles; agreeing action plans to improve maturity.
  • Ownership of the Trains Cadence / Drumbeat; including ceremonies, STW specific requirements and reporting commitments.
  • Engagement, active participation in and assurance of ceremonies and portfolio / programme reviews.
  • Assist Programme and Delivery Teams in the execution of:
    • -Financial Control
    • -Reporting
    • -Risk, Issue and Action Management
    • -Benefits / Value Enablement
    • -Planning and Estimating
    • -Dependency Management
    • -Change Control / Backlog Refinement
  • Play a key role in and co-ordinate Project Kick Off and PI Planning events.
  • Provide training and guidance in the use of STW Project Management & Agile Delivery Tools.

 

You'll be based at our Severn Trent Centre Head Office in Coventry.  You’ll work within our dedicated Technology PMO team. With this being such a critical role, we’re looking for someone who can join us 37 hours a week, working Monday to Friday.

 

HOW WE WORK

 

You'll join a caring culture that collaborates to achieve, grow, and develop. Our employee engagement scores are among the highest globally in energy and utilities. That’s why, we value in-person moments to keep our culture alive but also understand the flexibility working from home can bring. So, you'll usually find us in the office, but working from home is supported, when you need it.

 

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

 

Of course, it’s important that we attract the right skill sets, and those with the right experience but we value character, positivity and a caring attitude in equal weight.

 

For you to be successful as our PMO Support, you’ll have previous experience in meeting deadlines within a programme or project environment, and ideally have previously worked within an Agile environment.

 

We’ll be looking to you to pull on your strong planning, organisation & co-ordination

skills and be an excellent communicator, with the ability to flex your communication style to suit your audience.

We also want you to present a ‘can do’ attitude which will challenge and influence the Programme and Delivery Teams in the adoption of best practice standards.

 

Exceptional attention to detail is a further requirement for this role, as is the ability to build strong working relationships with stakeholders.

 

Knowledge of SAP, MS products, Jira and a range of planning tools is ideal, alongside knowledge of project management principles, methods and techniques (Waterfall and Agile).

 

Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity, and a caring attitude matter 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 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 IN RETURN

 

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:

 

  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays (and the ability to buy/ sell up to 5 days per year)
