LET’S TELL YOU MORE
As a Performance Manager, you'll play a pivotal role in driving operational performance across Strategic Networks, ensuring the delivery of key customer, environmental, and regulatory targets. Working closely with operational teams, Team Managers, and senior stakeholders, you'll use data, insight, and continuous improvement techniques to identify opportunities, improve performance, and deliver sustainable results.
You'll lead pollution reduction initiatives, support the delivery of capital and IRE programmes, manage budgets and resources effectively, and help ensure our teams are ready to respond to operational challenges 24/7. This is a highly visible role that combines leadership, performance management, and strategic problem-solving to deliver exceptional outcomes for our customers and the business.

You'll bring experience of budget management, resource planning, and operational performance, alongside a solid understanding of health and safety, regulatory requirements, and network operations.
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’re looking for people who want to get involved, be part of something bigger, and make a difference because they care.

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.
