Why a CV for this job?

94% of employers say their filters drop qualified candidates whose CV does not match the ad's exact criteria (Harvard Business School, 2021).

  • They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
  • It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
  • In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
  • Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.

LET’S CUT STRAIGHT TO IT

At Severn Trent, our people are at the heart of everything we do. 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 Project Manager to join our Capital Delivery security team, taking ownership of the end-to-end delivery of major, complex security capital projects.

Based at Raynesway, you’ll work 37 hours a week with no shift patterns. You’ll deliver projects safely, efficiently and to the right quality, managing scope, time, cost, risk, benefits and stakeholder expectations throughout the project lifecycle.

Working across multiple sites, you’ll lead delivery with internal teams, external delivery partners, contractors and senior stakeholders. You’ll provide leadership across planning, financial control, commercial management, contract performance and risk, while supporting the successful transition of change into business-as-usual.

HOW WE WORK

You’ll join a caring culture that collaborates to achieve, grow, and develop. Our employee engagement scores are among the highest globally in energy and utilities. That’s why we value in-person moments to keep our culture alive and why for this role you’ll usually find us in the office during our working hours.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’re looking for someone who can take ownership of complex project delivery and confidently manage the competing demands of scope, time, cost, quality and risk.

You’ll be comfortable working collaboratively across multiple sites and with a broad range of stakeholders, delivery partners and contractors.

Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity, and a caring attitude matter 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’re looking for people who want to get involved, be part of something bigger, and make a difference because they care.

HOW WE’LL REWARD AND CARE FOR YOU IN RETURN

It's not just a job; it's a career. We offer benefits that reward great work and award-winning training to help you reach your potential. Plus, you'll contribute to the environment and community too. Here are some of our favourites:

28 days holiday + bank holidays (and the ability to buy/ sell up to 5 days per year)

Annual bonus scheme (of up to £2.250, which is subject to eligibility)

Family-friendly policies (including a year off fully paid maternity and adoption leave)

Leading pension scheme – we will double your contribution (up to 15% when you contribute 7.5%)

Sharesave – the chance to buy Severn Trent plc shares at a discounted rate
