Assistant Project Manager
Job description
What do you get if you cross an award winning, innovative, water company and over 300 dedicated team members? Our Capital Delivery team of course!
Our ambitious and innovative projects (all 5000+ of them) help to combat the challenges of waste and water infrastructure, flooding, and water quality. Be a part of something bringing benefits to our
communities, health outcomes and environment. It could be the biggest challenge of your career.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
We are looking for an Assistant Project Manager to join our Bioresources Delivery Team to be based at our Raynesway, Derby office or Finham, Coventry office.
As our Assistant Project Manager, you’ll support the Project Managers by taking the lead on delivering your own projects by initially focusing on those that are less complex and lower risk. You’ll drive these projects forward whilst undertaking financial management and managing risk. As well as this, you’ll liaise with the project stakeholders/sponsors, and be able to influence at both mid and senior leadership levels.
This role will give you variety and challenge, with plenty of scope for learning whilst being supported to grow and do more.

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?

Working here isn’t just a job. You can build a career at Severn Trent. We’ll reward you for it, too. We have a range of benefits that recognise great work, and award-winning training to help you reach your potential.
