Our people are what makes Severn Trent a truly exciting and inclusive place to work. We’re a team of over 9,000 people with a purpose to deliver one of life’s essentials, and we do it all while thriving in our unique culture.
We’re a growing, Midlands based FTSE100 listed company and welcome people from all walks of life, celebrating their individuality, as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our customers and the communities we represent.
It’s an exciting time to join, as we have a huge ambition to deliver bigger and better than ever before over our next 5-year regulatory period. If you’re seeking an exciting and thoroughly rewarding career, Severn Trent is the place to be.
Due to an exciting new programme which is going to see us deliver for our customers a full mains renewal across our region over the next few years, we are now on a significant recruitment drive to scale our teams to deliver this fantastic work.
This is your opportunity to play a part in this transformation!
We are looking for a Network Construction Business Lead to join our team and be responsible for the planning and successful completion of all the Mains Renewal activity across the south region and is responsible for a total of circa 150 people.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
As our new Network Construction Business Lead, you’ll be the appointed Principal Contractor under CDM (Construction Design Management) Rules. This means that you are appointed by the Client (Strategic Lead) to co-ordinate and manage a construction phase of the project and ensure the health and safety of everyone involved in the construction work or anyone who may be affected by it.
Key responsibilities:
* Set and direct the strategy for the regional area, collaborating with other Network Construction Business Leader peers to drive and implement the overall AMP8 Mains Renewal strategy successfully.
* Oversee and be accountable for a large area of the business, ensuring compliance with external CDM Rules, including Health and Safety. Strategically lead, monitor, and continuously drive improved performance across the region.
* Control a budget of £xm (to be determined, but in the millions), both direct and indirect. Some budgetary elements are unquantifiable (e.g., the cost of failure), but direct budgets will be confirmed when the business case is signed off.
* Hold overall responsibility for a team of up to 150 people, including up to 9 Network Construction Managers and their teams (12 people each), Logistics Managers, Logistics Supervisors and their teams (around 30 people), and Reinstatement Managers and their teams (4 people). Directly manage up to 11 people managers and one Senior Professional.
* Chair executive meetings effectively to gather views, develop actions, and deliver outcomes.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE
For this role, the right candidate will have a good understanding of CDM Regulations and the ability to demonstrate this in practice. You’ll have past experience working within a utility-based industry and past managerial experience.
Additionally, you will have great communication skills as this role requires you to discuss project processes with both internal and external communications.
As travel is required, you’ll also have to hold a full U.K driving license.
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?
