M&E Site Manager

Our Engineering and Asset Management team oversee the delivery of new and upgraded assets across our whole region.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) Site Manager to join us, managing the construction stage of our £25m storm overflow Monitoring Certification (MCERTS) programme.

What you'll do

As one of three regional site managers, you'll have ownership of the successful delivery of the M&E construction works in your area.

You'll be responsible for projects across our sites in Dorset, South Wiltshire and the New Forest. We welcome candidates based across any of these areas who are willing to travel.

This role can be based in offices and depots at Yeovil, Poole, Salisbury or Dorchester. Occasional travel to our central offices in Bath and Bristol may also be required.

Projects involve upgrading our wastewater pumping stations and treatment works to achieve the latest environmental standards with monitoring instrumentation, new and upgraded plant units and power supply upgrades.

You'll have a relentless approach to setting and maintaining standards and be a key part of delivering the portfolio of work to all safety, quality, time and cost requirements.

Typical day-to-day duties will include:

• ensuring construction works are fully compliant with all company procedures and CDM Regulations, which will sometimes include fulfilling the role of Principal Contractor
• reviewing and producing risk assessments, method statements and construction phase plans
• working closely with civils and other disciplines, and sequencing the M&E works accordingly
• implementing permit to work systems, including the management of contractors working on operational assets and maintaining uninterrupted water and waste services during all works
• liaising with site operations teams to minimise the impact of projects on working assets
• being the primary liaison for residents and other third parties for projects in public areas, and ensuring they receive excellent service throughout the job
• quality inspections of in-progress and completed works, and ensuring swift resolution of snagging items
• ordering tools, equipment and hired plant as required for each job
• working closely with the Project Engineer and Project Manager to monitor, guide and report on progress and spend.

This role will be predominantly site-based, with a small amount of office work.

What you'll need

Do you have prior experience in a utilities or process industry, in a construction or maintenance setting? If so, we want to hear from you.

Most important is a sound knowledge of mechanical and electrical assets, standards and working practices, including the regulations around them.

We welcome applications from high-performing working supervisors or those from a contracting background looking for their first steps into a client-side management role.

The successful candidate will possess key qualifications such as SMSTS, IOSH or NEBOSH. Any evidence of competence in areas such as Streetworks, Temporary Works and DSEAR/ATEX would be highly desirable.

You must have strong time management and personal organisation, and be comfortable communicating with internal and external stakeholders at various levels. Sound IT skills, including Microsoft Office, are also key.

Due to the mobile nature of the role, a full UK driving licence is essential. A car allowance for own-vehicle use or company car will be provided.

Interviews for this role will take place week commencing 6 October.

What you'll receive 

• A combined pension contribution of up to 20%.
• Career progression and professional development opportunities.
• 25 days' holiday rising to 28 with length of service.
• The opportunity to buy up to 10 days' holiday and sell up to five every year.
• A healthcare package that allows you to claim back healthcare costs.
• Life assurance of up to eight times your salary.
• A new electric car in exchange for part of your gross salary.
• Cashback and discounts from more than 3,000 retailers.
• One paid volunteering day each year.
• Enhanced family leave and pay arrangements.
• An interactive health and wellbeing platform.
• Support from mental health first aiders.
• A £1,000 referral fee if you recommend someone to work for us.
