We are looking for an Environmental Project Manager to join Thames Water on a permanent basis.

The purpose of the role is to drive performance and directly impact one of the top three deliverables for Thames Water: pollution reduction. The role will aim to create a low polluting entity where the events are few between and have minimum environmental impact.

The influence on pollution reduction must be delivered alongside safety and financial performance. Our environmental performance is monitored and evaluated by our regulators using a range of measures, such as our compliance with our environmental permits, and the number and severity of pollution incidents that we cause, which in turn informs our Environmental Performance Assessment (EPA).

The role will programme manage initiatives delivered by others to ensure that pollution events are few between and have minimum environmental impact.

These initiatives are documented in the pollution incident reduction plan (PIRP) and our turnaround plan.

What you will be doing as an Environmental Project Manager?

  • Following both agile and waterfall ways of working to manage projects across our organisation based on data-led insight to drive performance improvement through reducing pollution incidents.
  • Evolve reporting for the core wastewater teams to deliver the pollution reduction initiatives and create different formats suitable for a variety of stakeholders and purposes.
  • Bring benefit measurement into our initiatives.
  • Liaise with industry counterparts to share and learn.
  • Provide data and insight to support continuous improvement.

What should you bring to the role?

  • Excellent planning, organisation, and verbal/written communication skills.
  • Evidence of working flexibly across organisations, building and/or improving ways of working and embedding them into organisations.
  • Strong financial and commercial acumen to ensure business cases for change can be substantiated.
  • A passion to improve our environmental performance.
  • Full driving licence.
  • Project Management Skills - delivering projects through others, stakeholder management & project governance.
  • Continuous improvement experience - working to business processes.
  • Leadership experience with the capability to support, motivate and drive people to build strong relationships.
  • Ability to analyse, interpret and effectively communicate written data and information to drive performance.
  • Positively influence and work collaboratively with all levels of an organisation to achieve improved business outcomes.

What's In it for you?

  • Offering a salary between £45,000 - £55,000 per annum depending on skills and experience.
  • Annual Leave - 26 days holiday per year increasing to 30 with the length of service (plus bank holidays).
  • WeCare, a variety of health and wellbeing services for you and your family including up to 10 specialist counselling sessions, 24/7 access to a virtual GP, get fit programmes and access to a nutritionist.
  • Benefits on Tap, access to discounts, cashback and instant vouchers.
  • Generous Paternity Leave, including 4 weeks paid and an optional 2 weeks unpaid.
  • Enhanced Maternity Leave, 26 weeks full pay and 13 weeks half pay!
  • Access to lots of benefits to help you take care of you and your family's health and wellbeing, and your finances - from annual health MOTs and access to physiotherapy and counselling, to Cycle to Work schemes, shopping vouchers and life assurance.
