LET’S TELL YOU MORE
Our Project Management (Engineering) Graduate Programme offers the perfect blend of personal and professional development, exposing you to the frontline and the core of our business. Being part of the programme will enable you to spend time in different areas of our capital delivery and engineering teams through 3 inspirational placements. Covering all areas of project management such as the end-to-end process of project and programme life cycles, water/waste networks design and delivery, and water/waste treatment asset design and delivery.
As a graduate project manager, you’ll build your experience and knowledge. Guided and mentored by expert industry professionals, you’ll explore the full lifecycle of project delivery, planning and management.
You’ll get an insight into our water and wastewater treatment, learn about different aspects of our business whilst working on a range of projects which will help address real life challenges and drive tangible change.
We’re not seeking technical knowledge, we’re after the right people. We’re after those with drive, a get up and go attitude, a willingness to learn, passion, and pro-activeness.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
We want people to get stuck in and grow their capability for the long term. You will be coached and mentored throughout your programme learning how to:
- Demonstrate a pro-active attitude to deliver project outcomes – lead meetings, capture outputs and actions, engage project teams and contractors to deliver outputs as outlined in your project plans and lead from the front
- Identify solutions to problems on your projects - seeking to gain support from management as required
- Proactively progress and close project actions - within the required timeframes to progress projects to completion
- Complete contract actions within timescales stated
- Demonstrate and provide confidence to management – in control of your projects, status and planned actions to deliver positive outcomes
- Demonstrate the ability to understand and process technical and non-technical issues, producing plans with clear actions to overcome issues.
- Build a driven mind-set working to overcome challenges seeking solutions - using project stakeholders and your network
- Build personal resilience, robustness and maturity in dealing with unfamiliar or complex situations or with challenging stakeholders.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We want our employees to care and to have a genuine passion for what we do as a business. We need people who want to make a difference in providing a vital service to our customers, now and for the long-term.
We’d love you to be someone with…
- A ‘can do’ attitude – willing to get stuck in, take accountability for decisions and actions and who takes pride in their work.
- A love of variety in a role and ability to adapt to a dynamic, fast-paced working environment.
- Ability to quickly prioritise tasks and the initiative to dive head-first into problem solving. No two days are the same on the front line and not every day goes to plan, so you’ll need to be quick on your feet to respond!
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills and enjoy working with multiple teams.
- Ability to analyse and interpret information and effectively communicate this to different team members and audiences.
- Ability to travel freely across our patch to visit different sites and travel to meetings and training days.
- Curiosity to learn quickly in a reactive and dynamic working environment, and capable of looking forward to pre-empt challenges and issues
- The care to look out for, and be an inspiration to your colleagues.
Pride to see every moment of every day as an opportunity to show how good we are.
