Collaborate with teams to improve our delivery approach, implementing best practices and driving continual improvement.
What you’ll need
Understanding how things work in Scottish Water, like Tier 1 and Tier 2 processes, tools such as FAB, Unifier, P6, and how to report on them.
Knowledge of handling finances and budgets, including stuff like accruals, forecasting, value of work done, and keeping up with the latest best estimates.
Confidently liaising with Programme Stakeholders.
Having experience or knowledge of different ways to get things done in project or programme environments, like SAFe, Scrum, PRINCE 2, Agile, MSP, MOP, P3O, etc.
You should be able to capture, validate, analyze, and report on programme performance, which can then be shared with programme stakeholders.
Drive continual improvement and innovation.
You should be highly proficient in MS Packages like SharePoint, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc.
You should have strong data analysis skills.
Looking out for you
While the work we do is important, we know it’s not the only thing that matters. That’s why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance.
You’ll get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays). And you can even buy five more if you need a little extra time. You can also take paid time off to volunteer in your community.
When it comes to major life events we have family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave. And for the everyday? We embrace flexible working.
For your future, there’s our pension (the ‘know-what-you’ll-get-when-you-retire’ kind), as well as life assurance.
As for some nice extras? You can expect an annual company bonus. Not to mention access to SW Splash – handy rewards that can save you money on holidays, bills, and shopping.
The not-so-small print
This role will be a Grade 6. If you’re new to Scottish Water, you’ll join us on a starting salary of £33,560. Performance-driven pay progression would then allow you to move through the range to a maximum of £44,140.
If you’re interested in this role – or know someone else who might be - we’ll be accepting applications until midnight on the 10th May 2024.
A few final things worth knowing…
Research shows that some people avoid applying for jobs unless they can meet every single criteria. If you’re interested in this job, but don’t tick all the boxes, apply anyway! We hardly ever hire people who can do every part of a job from Day One. Everyone has a learning curve. So don’t rule yourself out!
Let us know if there are any changes we can make to our recruitment process to help you perform at your best. Lots of our people have disabilities or neurodiverse conditions (including some of our recruiters!). We’re also aware that some people might be experiencing temporary challenges because of life events, like menopause. We’re very used to making adjustments, so please don’t be afraid to ask.
As part of our commitment to developing a flourishing Scotland, it’s important that all our employees are Scottish taxpayers. If you join us, your home address will need to be in Scotland. If you don’t already live here, you’ll need to commit to moving here within your first three months.
Finally (finally!), candidates who haven’t submitted an application in the last 12 months will have their records removed from our recruitment database. You won’t need to do anything. Your data will be automatically deleted.
