At South West Water, we’re more than a water company — we’re guardians of one of life’s most precious resources. As we deliver one of the largest water supply programmes in our history, we’re looking for an exceptional PMO Manager to help lead the Strategic Resource Option (SRO) Programme and drive meaningful change across our organisation and the wider Pennon Group.

Drive Excellence in Delivery

Lead and develop a centralised PMO function supporting a complex portfolio of strategic projects

Oversee portfolio performance, prioritisation, and resource planning
Manage risks, issues, and escalations to keep delivery on track

What We’re Looking For

Experience & Expertise

Extensive experience in project/programme management
People management experience
Proven track record delivering large, complex infrastructure programmes (ideally in water or regulated sector)
Strong background in PMO leadership, governance and portfolio management
Experience influencing senior stakeholders and shaping strategic delivery

Qualifications

PMP, PRINCE2, Agile or equivalent (essential)
Degree-level education (Master’s desirable)
Lean Six Sigma or similar (desirable)

Skills & Attributes

Strategic thinker with a focus on long-term outcomes
Exceptional organisational and communication skills
Collaborative, resilient, and adaptable
Passion for driving change and delivering measurable results

Why Join Us?

At South West Water, you’ll have the opportunity to:

Help deliver critical infrastructure that supports communities and the environment
Lead transformation in a forward-thinking, purpose-driven organisation
Work alongside passionate people who put customers and colleagues first
Shape innovative solutions to future water challenges

We’re committed to creating a safe, inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive — and where your ideas can make a real difference.

What you’ll get

Join us and help deliver a reliable, high-quality service for our customers across the South West.

We believe in rewarding our people for their hard work and dedication. As our PMO Manager, you'll enjoy:

Competitive Salary – Based on experience and skills
Company car or car allowance – Options to support your role
Annual Bonus Scheme – Recognising company performance
Pension Scheme – Helping you plan for your future
Flexible Working Options – We value work-life balance and offer flexible hours and hybrid working where possible

Employee Discounts – On various products and services
Annual Leave – Take time to recharge with our holiday entitlement

Ready to Make a Difference?

If you’re motivated by purpose, driven by impact, and ready to lead at scale — we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today and help secure water for the future.

Closing Date: 29th June 2026

Be yourself, we like it that way. Together, we will build a culture of belonging, where inclusion is instinctive. Diversity is our strength and a reflection of our communities. We care, we value everyone, we celebrate uniqueness.

Our core values, which are essential to our success, are:

Be Rock Solid - Build trust and be trusted. Be the one we all look to and can depend on.
