Our ambitious and innovative projects (all 5000+ of them) help to combat the challenges of waste and water infrastructure, flooding and water quality. Being part of our inhouse designers means we can do the best by our customers and our water.

If you want to do more because you care, we’d love to talk to you. There really is something for everyone here.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Commissioning Manager to join us within our Capital Delivery team, to lead and mentor a group of diverse commissioning engineers, ensuring successful delivery of our capital works programme over a wide variety of construction projects and processes, many of which will be market leading within the water industry.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

As a Senior Commissioning Manager, you will work closely with the Programme management team to allocate staff to high-risk projects, ensuring timely delivery upon programme, cost and quality with an emphasis upon excellent Health and Safety.

Key Accountabilities:

1. Management of key stakeholders. Ensuring that the team respond to and address incidents with the Project Manager as and when they occur and ensure the root cause is identified and actions taken to prevent re-occurrence.

7. Respond to and address incidents with the stakeholders as and when they occur and ensure the root cause is identified and actions taken to prevent re-occurrence.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

This is a fantastic opportunity to be a key driver in the testing of our assets and bringing them into service safely. The role will offer you the autonomy to introduce new processes and the freedom to think innovatively, in addition to the ability to grow and nurture the team to be the best they can be.

You’ll have experience of working in field delivery and managing construction projects. You will be able to build relationships and liaise with challenging stakeholders and also drive and lead your team.

You will ideally have broad experience or knowledge in water fittings regulations, water regulations, Health & Safety and NRSWA and managing contractors.

The right skills and experience are important. But if you have the right character, positivity and a caring attitude we want to talk to you, too.
