If you want to do more, because you care, we want you on our team.
Are you ready to take on a pivotal role in delivering impactful projects for our Waste Networks team?
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
We’re looking for a skilled and motivated Project Manager to drive our risk validation processes and enhance our asset understanding. Whether you’re just starting out in project management or you’re an experienced professional, this is your opportunity to make a tangible difference in our WINEP (Water Industry National Environmental Programme) and Flooding programs.
This is your chance to work on meaningful projects that deliver real results for our customers and communities. At Severn Trent, we foster a collaborative and inclusive environment where your ideas, skills, and experience are valued. Whether you’re an aspiring project manager or a seasoned professional, you’ll find opportunities to grow, lead, and make a difference.
As a Project Manager, some of your responsibilities will include:
Your contributions will play a vital role in ensuring the success of our projects. You will be responsible for achieving deliverables on time, within budget, and to agreed quality standards. This includes effectively managing all aspects of program delivery to meet objectives.
Working with Tactical Asset Planning colleagues, you will provide support, where relevant with business cases for governance board approval and manage smooth handovers to the Capital Delivery team, including post-project reviews.
Your role also includes managing financial forecasts and budgets while identifying and mitigating risks and opportunities to ensure the successful delivery of programs.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE
We’re looking for someone with strong engineering and/or technical experience ideally within the wastewater or sewer networks sector to bring technical expertise to help deliver impactful projects. If you feel you have the right engineering or technical background but don’t have experience of the water industry, we would still be keen to hear from you.
You’ll have several years project management experience, while experience in managing infrastructure or utilities would be highly valuable, it’s not essential. If you don’t have much experience of this yet, we’ll support you in developing these skills. You’ll have experience in working with contractors, coordinating teams, and ensuring outputs meet required standards. You’ll keep projects on track, within budget, and aligned with business goals, contributing to work that makes a real difference.
You’ll be creative and strategic, able to adapt to changing priorities and conflicting demands. You’ll communicate clearly and confidently, and depending on your level, you’ll be able to inspire and support others. Experience with project management tools like MS Project is helpful, and a full UK driving licence is essential.

We have a range of benefits that recognise great work, and award-winning training to help you reach your potential.

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.
