About The Position

Help shape the future of water, the environment and the communities we serve.

From climate resilience and major engineering projects to digital innovation and customer experience, you'll develop the skills, experience and support needed to become one of our future leaders or specialists.

Working within the Programme & Change Delivery Team as a Project Manager, you will lead the delivery of business-critical projects that drive improvements across the organisation.

This will give you the opportunity to work on a diverse range of projects and programmes, build relationships across the business, and develop a broad understanding of how we deliver change and value for our customers, communities and the environment.
