EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW  

Based in our Finham or Raynesway office and reporting to the Business Lead for Waste Treatment Major Projects, the Lead Project Manager will be responsible for leading a team of project managers and assistant project managers to deliver multiple capital engineering and construction schemes and delivering on key project KPIs across a programme of large capital engineering and construction projects within Severn Trent’s Capital and Commercial Services business area.

You will have a strong ability to build successful working relationships with internal and external stakeholders from a diverse range of backgrounds, and hold a relentless drive for continuous improvement, with the ability to innovate and anticipate unexpected issues and challenges as they arise.

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

We do more, because we care.
