What do you get if you cross an award-winning, innovative water company and over 300 dedicated team members? Our Design team of course!
Our ambitious and innovative projects (all 5000+ of them) help to combat the challenges in water infrastructure, such as flooding and water quality. Being one of our in-house designers means we can meet these challenges, delivering the best for our customers and for our precious water.
Which is why we are investing over £2 billion into construction projects over the next five years to improve the services we provide.
If you want to do more because you care, we’d love to talk to you. There really is something for everyone here.
Position Overview
Within our Capital Design and Delivery department, we are looking for a Senior Project Manager to join our Waste Infrastructure Design team based in Derby, Coventry, or Shrewsbury.
Responsibilities
The Senior Project Manager role is responsible for managing contract orders with professional services consultants to achieve delivery of design within time, cost, and quality, as well as supporting other programmes and efficiency drivers within the team.
Throughout the project, you will meet regularly with design consultants, project teams, and other stakeholders to ensure the design is completed within programme and cost while meeting our standards.
You will be responsible for managing multiple consultants through feasibility, outline, and detail design. You will help us generate the best overall solutions to the challenges of tomorrow's environmental needs and consumer expectations.

You will have a strong ability to build successful working relationships with internal and external stakeholders from diverse 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.
