Powered by Water, Driven by Purpose

South West Water keeps the South West flowing with safe, reliable drinking water and wastewater services across some of the UK’s most stunning landscapes.

We’re proud to be part of Pennon Group, a leader in the UK water sector, working towards a greener future. Our goals? As well as lowering our carbon footprint, we’re working with partners to plant 300,000 trees, restore peatlands and supporting farmers and landowners to improve water quality and wildlife.

Whether you’re starting out or seeking a new challenge, our scale and ambition create opportunities for you to shape your own career.

Ready to make a splash? Join our team today.

Are you an organised and proactive individual looking to build your career in project management?

We are seeking an Assistant Project Manager to join our busy engineering team, supporting the delivery of a high volume of planned and reactive projects across the construction and water sectors.

About the role

This is a field-based role requiring regular travel, working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly. It offers an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience supporting the delivery of critical works—often to tight timescales—while developing your skills across a broad range of technical disciplines and real-world project challenges.

If you are detail-oriented, eager to learn, and enjoy problem-solving in a dynamic environment, we would be delighted to hear from you.

What you'll be doing:

Supporting the delivery of multiple fast-turnaround engineering projects
Assisting with coordination of teams, contractors, and stakeholders to keep projects on track
Helping to monitor project timelines, costs, and quality standards
Supporting mobilisation of works, including temporary solutions where required
Tracking progress and escalating potential issues to ensure timely resolution
Assisting with reactive and emergency works, including occasional out-of-hours support
Supporting cost tracking and ensuring projects remain aligned with budgets
Helping to ensure smooth handover to operations and completion of project documentation
Promoting and adhering to health & safety compliance across all activities

What we are looking for:

Essential

Experience within the construction and/or water industry (including placements or entry-level roles)
Strong organisational and time management skills
Excellent communication skills with a proactive, can-do attitude
Ability to support multiple projects in a fast-paced environment
Problem-solving mindset with attention to detail
Basic understanding of health and safety requirements
Proficient in Microsoft Office applications (Excel, Word, Outlook)
Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to sites
Flexibility to support reactive or emergency work when required

Desirable

Exposure to project coordination or project management activities
Experience supporting budgets or cost tracking
Relevant qualification (e.g. degree, HNC/HND, or working towards APM/Prince2)

Technical Knowledge (one or more of the following):

Mechanical or Electrical systems
Instrumentation, Control and Automation
Civil Engineering
Process or scientific systems
Clean or wastewater site operations

What's in it for you:

We know our people drive our success — so we’re committed to offering an excellent range of benefits, including:

Generous holiday allowance + bank holidays
Discretionary bonus
Competitive contributory pension
Share-save scheme
Health benefits & wellbeing support programmes
Group discounts
Cycle to Work scheme
Financial support services
Development and training opportunities
… and much more!

Closing Date: 10th June 2026

We may close this vacancy early if we receive a high volume of applications. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

Please note that the successful candidate will be subject to a mandatory DBS check as part of the onboarding process.

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.

Be You - We want you to bring your best everyday. Be yourself and make your mark in your individual way.

Be the Future - Embrace change. Drive Progress. Own the challenge.
