We’re in the top 5% of utility companies worldwide for employee engagement, and we’re equally proud of our strong Glassdoor score, reflecting how much our people love working here. Join us to make a positive impact on the environment and our communities, while being valued and supported in a truly inclusive workplace. If you want to do more, because you care, we want you on our team.

LET’S TELL YOU MORE

We’re looking for a Network Construction Manager to join us for 6 months, to help deliver our mains renewal programme, making sure our customers safely receive a constant supply of good quality drinking water.

You’ll manage the day-to-day delivery of allocated schemes, including site health and safety, resources, people and external parties. You’ll coordinate and risk assess mains renewal activity, oversee two Network Construction Teams and manage cost forecasting.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

You’ll need a full driving licence and significant experience within a utility-based industry. Ideally, you’ll also hold National Water Hygiene and NRSWA accreditation.

You’ll be a clear communicator who can build effective working relationships, lead and inspire others, and identify risks and opportunities. Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity and a caring attitude matter too.
