Full job description

Summary:

* 12 month Fixed Term Contract **

Are you a master of spinning plates, a natural communicator, and someone who thrives on turning strategic vision into reality?

Do you have the drive to lead projects from a blank canvas to a successful finish line, keeping scope, budget, and schedule perfectly balanced?

In this role, you will be the ultimate driving force behind our most crucial initiatives. Reporting directly to the Change Programme Manager, you will take full ownership of ensuring our projects are delivered successfully, on time, and completely aligned with our company’s strategic goals.

You will act as the central hub for all project-related communications and activities. From conception to completion, you are the person who keeps the wheels turning and everyone moving in the same direction.

Main responsibilities:

Manage and coordinate a single project or multiple, unrelated projects from initiation to closure. Provide strong leadership to the project team and serve as the main point of contact for all project-related communications.
Develop comprehensive project plans, including detailed breakdowns of tasks, realistic deadlines and resource allocation. Oversee the execution of all project activities to ensure they align with the agreed-upon scope and quality standards.
Proactively monitor and control project performance against the established plan. Regularly report progress, risks and key metrics to senior management and relevant stakeholders to ensure transparency and alignment.
Take full ownership of the project's success by actively managing its scope, timeline and budget to ensure all objectives are met within the approved constraints.
Proactively identify potential risks, analyse their impact and develop effective mitigation plans. Manage all change requests to assess their impact on the project's constraints and objectives.
Actively manage stakeholder expectations and communications to ensure buy-in and alignment. Ensure all project deliverables meet the defined quality standards and are fit for purpose.

You'll need:
Skills / Qualifications / Experience

Strong verbal and written communication skills, particularly active listening and stakeholder management.
Attention to detail and the ability to track multiple moving parts to ensure that project deliverables meet quality standards and align with objectives.
The ability to collaborate effectively using excellent negotiation and conflict resolution skills to drive teams towards a common goal.
Strong critical thinking and problem-solving abilities to be able to handle unexpected road-blocks of the project.
Budgeting awareness to ensure the project is delivered within the budget allocated to it.
Technical proficiency with project management tools.
Working knowledge of project management frameworks (e.g., Agile, PRINCE2).
Proven ability to thoroughly plan and schedule projects, including breaking down tasks, setting realistic deadlines and creating comprehensive plans.
Demonstrated ability to create, track, and manage project budgets, ensuring all financial constraints are met.
Experience in proactively identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential project risks and their impact on timelines and outcomes.
Proven leadership skills, with a track record of motivating and guiding teams, building positive project cultures, and inspiring confidence during challenges.
A history of being highly adaptable and flexible, with the ability to adjust plans and strategies in response to change while maintaining composure.
A professional project management qualification such as Project Management Professional (PMP), Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) or PRINCE2 Practitioner.

Employees are required to be flexible and to be prepared to perform duties and other tasks within their capabilities. The nature of our business is such that the contents of any job profile are subject to change from time to time.

Grow a career with a meaningful purpose.

We know the communities we serve are diverse. We recognise creativity comes from diversity not similarity. That’s why we are enthusiastic about creating inclusion across age, race, gender, ethnicity, religion and identity. You will experience our dedication to equal opportunities and fair treatment for all: through your recruitment, employment and career progression with South East Water.

Benefits package:

Excellent Stakeholder pension scheme, up to 10% employer contribution.
5 weeks holiday plus bank holidays per annum, increasing to 6 weeks with length of service.
Flexible annual leave policy to buy or sell holiday leave.
Paid volunteering days.
Cycle to work scheme.
Health cash plan.
Life assurance.
Wellbeing related benefits.
