We’re looking for a proactive operational leader to support our frontline teams and help drive strong performance, safety, and the reliable delivery of high-quality drinking water across a critical supply area.
As a Supply Support Manager, you’ll work closely with the Supply Manager to support the leadership and day-to-day performance of multi-disciplined teams of Works Technicians operating and maintaining our water supply assets. You’ll champion safety and help ensure the efficient, risk-based delivery of operational activities, excellent customer service, and continual improvement across operational sites, including contributions to optimisation initiatives and capital engineering schemes.
What Makes This Role Stand Out:
- Essential Service – Your work ensures 1.3bn litres of safe, clean drinking water reaches 5 million customers in homes, hospitals, and businesses. Whether day to day or during emergencies your team is on the front-line keeping services running.
- Operational leadership & live problem solving – You’ll provide hands-on managerial and operational support to our frontline teams, championing safety and driving continual improvement across water supply assets and processes. You’ll coordinate activities, prioritise resources, and solve real-time operational challenges using data-led decision making - no two days are the same.
- Future focus – You’ll be involved in integrating capital investment, future schemes, and new assets and technology into live supply systems, playing an active role from design through to commissioning and shaping how water is delivered now and in the years ahead.
- Strong team culture – You’ll be part of a closeknit, trusted team with shared responsibility and pride in keeping essential services running.
