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.

We’re looking for an experienced and driven M&E Maintenance Manager to lead a team of mechanical and electrical technicians, ensuring the reliability and performance of critical wastewater assets.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll combine strong technical expertise with people management to deliver safe, compliant, and efficient operational performance. You’ll play a key role in maintaining asset resilience, responding to complex issues, and driving continuous improvement across maintenance activities.

Ensure the availability, serviceability, and compliance of operational assets
Plan and prioritise maintenance activities, balancing reactive and planned work
Respond to operational incidents, diagnosing and resolving complex technical issues
Build strong relationships with operational teams, contractors, and suppliers
Drive continuous improvement in maintenance standards, processes, and efficiency
Ensure full compliance with health & safety standards, including risk assessments and permits
Manage budgets (OPEX & CAPEX) and support effective decision-making and escalation where needed
Support and develop team members through performance management and development plans

What we're looking for:

Qualifications & Experience

Mechanical or Electrical apprenticeship (or equivalent)
Recognised management qualification
Experience leading teams within an engineering or process-based environment
Strong background in maintenance of mechanical and/or electrical assets
Ideally experience within water, wastewater, or a similar industrial environment

(NEBOSH and CompEx qualifications are desirable)

Skills & Knowledge

Strong technical understanding of M&E systems and maintenance principles
Proven leadership and people management skills
Ability to prioritise workloads and manage competing demands
Experience in root cause analysis and continuous improvement
Knowledge of health & safety legislation and best practices
Confident using IT systems and MS Office

What’s in it for you?

We recognise the commitment our people give every day, and in return we offer outstanding training, career opportunities and a generous benefits package, including:

Generous holiday allowance + bank holidays
Discretionary bonus scheme
Competitive contributory pension
Share-save scheme
A range of health and wellbeing benefits
Wellbeing and employee support programmes
Access to a wide range of discounts
Cycle to Work Scheme
Financial support services
…and more!

If you're a proactive leader with strong technical expertise and a passion for delivering operational excellence, we’d love to hear from you.

Closing Date: 11th 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.
