Strong organisational and analytical skills, with the ability to interpret data and make recommendations
Some knowledge or interest in project management or innovation (desirable)
Excellent communication skills, able to engage confidently with senior stakeholders
A proactive, detail-oriented approach with strong time management skills

Why Join Us?

Work on sector-leading research and innovation
Be part of a unique industry-academic partnership
Gain exposure to strategic programmes and senior leaders
Help deliver solutions that benefit customers, communities and the environment
Build a career at the forefront of sustainability and resilience

Our Values

At South West Water, we are committed to:

Doing the right thing for our customers and communities
Driving innovation and continuous improvement
Supporting a culture of collaboration and inclusion

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 Assistant Programme Manager you'll enjoy:

Competitive Salary – Based on experience and skills
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
Healthcare Benefits – Access to employee assistance programs

Annual Leave – Take time to recharge with our holiday entitlement

Closing Date: 19th 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.
