Would you like to build your career in a place where you can grow?

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

In this role, you will be providing technical solutions and undertaking feasibility evaluation/assessment for projects and creating designs & specifications for AMP8 and beyond for Water Treatment facilities for Severn Trent Water. As the schemes progress, you will be creating and evaluating designs & specifications for tender through in-house design and through utilization of consultant design teams.

You will come up with innovative design solutions to support the delivery of our projects & you will need to think about the wider context of our changing environment, climate change pledge, and carbon commitments.

Teamwork is key across Capital Design and Delivery, so we would want you to demonstrate leadership and assist with defining team goals and actively drive problem solving/information processing and support the team in translating this information concisely.

It is critical for us that you are a confident communicator and have good leadership and stakeholder management skills, as you will need to liaise with the stakeholders, build relationships, and influence at mid and senior leadership levels.
