An amazing opportunity for an experienced Project Manager to be responsible for the delivery of the Waste Networks design programme, writing service order, managing and delivering these service order and also Outline detail design schemes.

 

While in this role, you will play a key role in leading and managing the project team and project lifecycle (from business case approval to design completion) ensuring all project deliverables are achieved on time, within cost and to agreed quality standards.

 

You will scope and create project plan with input from the framework consultant, and perform the role of NEC Service Manager (or elements of it) when delegated by the Design Manager (Delegation of Authority to be confirmed)

 

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

 

Ideally either degree qualified in a technical engineering discipline or a qualified Project Manager with the APM (Association of Project Managers) or working towards completing these achievements.

You will be a dynamic and collaborative leader with excellent communication and influencing skills. You will have a strong ability to build successful working relationships with internal and external stakeholders from a diverse range of backgrounds, and hold a relentless drive for continuous improvement, with the ability to innovate and anticipate unexpected issues and challenges as they arise.

 

Of course, it’s important that we attract the right skill sets, and those with the right experience but we value character, positivity and a caring attitude in equal weight.

 

We want people who show up and roll their sleeves up. Restless spirits who are ready to be part of something bigger, who care, who really care... because when you really care, you’ll go above and beyond. When you really care you don’t just talk about it, you do more.

 

We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities. We employ thousands of people from across our community who really care about what they do. Because that is how we do what we do.

We do more, because we care.
