Strategic Asset Manager

 

Our purpose is taking care of life’s essentials, but we’re also big on making a difference, not just because we should but because we care.

 

With that in mind we are looking for a Strategic Asset Manager to develop holistic, long-term Water Network solutions that will ensure we adapt and keep pace with our customer needs, growth and climate change. This is a great opportunity to join our team at our site in Coventry.

  

 

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

 

As our Strategic Asset Manager, you’ll play a key role in shaping the long-term future of our water assets by developing and delivering a 25-year investment strategy covering Treated Water Pumping Stations, Treated Water Storage and Impounding Reservoirs. Working closely with our Strategy and Regulation teams, you’ll help produce regulatory submissions, including the PR29 Business Plan, while providing technical sponsorship and expertise to support asset rationalisation opportunities in line with our 25-year Water System Plan.

 

You’ll oversee an annual investment programme of approximately £200m to £250m, ensuring projects are designed and delivered to achieve the benefits set out in our business plans. You’ll use the latest data, industry learning and best practice to drive continuous improvement, collaborate with innovation specialists to explore new opportunities, and build strong external relationships, representing the business across industry forums and stakeholder groups.

 

 

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

 

  

You will need to be a strategic thinker, problem solver with a strong grasp of water networks and hydraulics. It goes without saying you’ll have excellent communication skills and demonstrate the ability to influence colleagues of all levels effectively. You will work closely with stakeholders internal and external and have the ability to work well under pressure to tight deadlines. The ability to compile, analyse, interpret and present complex technical data sets is a must. We want someone who is both a team player as well and competent project sponsor who owns problems until resolution.

  

 

WHAT’S IN IT FOR 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)  
  • 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  
  • Two volunteering days per year  

 

 

WHATS NEXT?

 

We can’t wait to hear from you.

 

Before you apply, you’ll need an updated copy of your CV and about five minutes to spare. We’ll always let you know the outcome of your application after the closing date too - so keep an eye on your phone and emails.
