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.
We’re looking for a Network Construction Manager to join us for 6 months, to help deliver our mains renewal programme, making sure our customers safely receive a constant supply of good quality drinking water.
You’ll manage the day-to-day delivery of allocated schemes, including site health and safety, resources, people and external parties. You’ll coordinate and risk assess mains renewal activity, oversee two Network Construction Teams and manage cost forecasting. You’ll also work with local operators, third parties and customers to ensure work meets required standards. The role is 37 hours per week, Monday to Friday.
You’ll need a full driving licence and significant experience within a utility-based industry. Ideally, you’ll also hold National Water Hygiene and NRSWA accreditation. A strong understanding of Construction Design and Management regulations is important, as you’ll have CDM accountability for the sites you manage.
You’ll be a clear communicator who can build effective working relationships, lead and inspire others, and identify risks and opportunities. Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity and a caring attitude matter too.
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. You’ll also contribute to the environment and community. Some of our benefits include:
We can’t wait to hear from you. Have an updated CV ready and spare five minutes to apply. We’ll let you know the outcome after the closing date, so keep an eye on your phone and emails.

Water is wonderful. Without it we’d be lost. With it, everything’s possible. For every toothbrush, for every loo flushed. For the hot showers, the cool drinks, the cups of tea. But it’s not just at the heart of our homes. It’s at the heart of everything; our schools, our businesses, our hospitals. Saving lives, helping communities thrive.
We’re Severn Trent, a diverse and amazing group of people who want to keep it that way. We bring you clean water and we take it away safely too. But it’s not just what we do. It’s how we do it: not just talking, but going over and above. Stepping up and rolling our sleeves up.
It’s because we care. Not only about our water but our corner of the country. And we care for our amazing people who make all this possible. Don’t just take our word for it; we’re a Glassdoor Top 50 Company – one of the best employers in the UK right now.
At Severn Trent, we do more, because we care.
