Project Engineer

Our ambitious and innovative projects (all 5000+ of them) help to combat the challenges of waste and water infrastructure, flooding and water quality. Being part of our Technical and Contract Service team means we can do the best by our customers and our water.

 

If you want to do more because you care, we’d love to talk to you. There really is something for everyone here.

 

We are looking for a Project Engineer to support our Treatment teams in the East Capital Delivery team within Technical and Contract Services (TCS) team.

 

 

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW  

 

As a Project Engineer you’ll be part of a team that covers the East side of the Severn Trent area. This role would mainly be working in Burton, Tamworth, Lichfield, Birmingham North and Staffordshire Moorland area but not limited to that, as supporting the wider team during periods of annual leave or workload cover, you could be asked to support anywhere in the Nottingham, Derby or Leicester region.

 

With a diverse programme of single stage capital maintenance projects for both Waste and Water, you’ll see a wide range of site activities from screw pump replacements, pumping station refurbs, settlement tank bridge refurbishments, fitting flow monitors and inlet screens and civils work.

 

The programme of works is prioritised by risk and funding agreed in collaboration with our Customer Operations teams who own the sites. Some activity comes from proactive programmes of work and is prioritised through our Tactical Asset Planning (TAP) team, so stakeholder management is key throughout the project life cycle.

 

You’ll be competent in managing the six key aspects of a project: scope, schedule, finance, risk, quality, and resources. Utilising our Framework suppliers/service providers under the MCS process, you will drive project plans, ensure milestone delivery, and maintain safety compliance. Additionally, you will report progress to the Lead Project Manager. 

 

 

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

 

You’ll come equipped with confident communication, great team membership and stakeholder management skills, with a proactive and flexible approach to working, and have excellent planning and organising skills as well as a great awareness of safety, everything we do involves people and process, so we need to stay safe.

 

Ideally, you’ll be able to demonstrate experience of managing multiple projects or programmes of work at a given time and knowledge of H&S through IOSH managing safely, managing contractors and suppliers and CDM 2015 whilst remaining curious, being courageous, taking care and being proud of what you and the team do. If you are not at that level but you are the right person, we will be happy to support you on your journey to achieve the qualifications.

 

Being a regional based team, it’s essential you’re able to travel independently to sites around the patch to deliver our projects and for team meetings.  Although the base location advertised states Hartshill, we can review and be flexible to get the best fit for the right candidate.

 

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 involved. Those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care. Is that you?

It’s not just a job you’ll get here, you’ll get a career too. 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:
