The Role

United Utilities is on the lookout for enthusiastic Junior Project Managers to join our Capital Delivery project teams.

We aim to provide comprehensive, cost-effective solutions. Our approach involves implementing projects that prevent rainwater from entering our sewer network, making it less susceptible to rainfall. We achieve this through Sustainable Drainage Systems, focusing on managing rainwater at its source and storing it on the surface, thereby minimising the need for underground storage.

In this role, you will immerse yourself in the heart of operations, collaborating with seasoned project delivery teams and engineers. You'll gain in depth knowledge of our organisation, our significant contracts, and our key industry partners. Your expertise will be crucial in addressing the unique challenges of our sector, and your collaborative efforts will be instrumental in driving our success and achieving our ambitious targets.
