Employer Thames Water Location Hybrid - Kemble Court - RG2 6AD Salary Offering between £40,000 and £45,000 per annum depending on experience and skills Closing date 27 Dec 2024
We are seeking a Change Project Manager to join us in delivering improvements within our growing Renewals and Logistics business unit (providing people, resources and specialist services to our operations colleagues). Known as an Operational Improvement Lead, this is not a traditional project management role – you will be able to shape the project and support delivering activities using your insight, creativity and stakeholder management skills. You’ll be able to steer the project through discovery to develop operating models and processes, manage pilots and implement delivery plans.
Working closely with the project teams, turning your hand to whatever support is needed, you’ll widen your knowledge of waste sewerage and clean water operations, offering you a varied and exciting career at Thames Water whilst making a genuine difference to Thames Water communities, customers and colleagues.

* Manage the development and delivery of projects which are improvements to existing services and operation or creating new services
* Reviewing, developing, testing and implementing operating models and processes to ensure they are fit for the future
* Working closely with stakeholders at all levels to engage, involve and drive successful activities to deliver the project objectives
* Ensure we capture and communicate the benefits and lead the change in behaviours and working methods
* You will be leading and coordinating stakeholders confidently with a focus on delivering successful change
* Embed change and provide a smooth handover to BAU
This role is based at our operational site in Green Park, Reading but you will have a flexible hybrid working pattern that allows you to go where the project needs you and work from home.
Working 36 hours per week, Monday to Friday
What you should bring to the role
* Previous exposure to project and change management
* Experience communicating with and influencing stakeholders at all levels
* Strong planning skills and self-management capability
* Be willing to get stuck in and become a ‘temporary subject matter expert’ to help lead the way with authority
* Ability to competently use MS Office and Project software
* The successful candidate must have access to a car and hold a driver’s licence
What’s in it for you?
* Offering between £40,000 and £45,000 per annum depending on skills and experience
* 26 days holiday per year increasing to 30 with the length of service. (Plus bank holidays)
* Generous contributory pension
* Personal Medical Assessments – Open to all once a year
* Wider benefits scheme including our benefits hub, which is packed full of offers and information to save you money and support your wellbeing
Who are we?

Water is life’s great leveller. Every living thing needs it, every single day. From people to plants, birds to bees, farms to factories, we all need it to thrive, and we’re committed to taking care of it for us all.
But keeping water flowing is becoming harder. From scorching summers to wetter winters, extreme weather affects everything from our pipes to our local rivers. We must keep millions more kettles boiling, public services operating, washing machines spinning, showers running and more, so every drop is more precious than ever. Are you ready to play your part?
