What you’ll be doing as Resilience Manager:

The Resilience Manager is responsible for providing technical leadership on Power Resilience across water and wastewater sites, ensuring that electrical power systems are designed, maintained and upgraded to minimise the risk and impact of power loss.

As Resilience Manager you will be responsible for translating the Power Resilience strategy into engineered solutions, standards and plans that improve reliability and protect customers, the environment and Thames Water’s assets.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a critical area of UK infrastructure and make a meaningful difference to customer outcomes and environmental protection.

Key responsibilities:
  • Team Leadership and Capability: You will lead, develop and performance‑manage the Power Resilience Engineering team, coaching and mentoring a geographically dispersed workforce to build capability and consistency of delivery.
  • Resilience Assessments: You will own priority system and site Power Resilience assessments, producing single‑line views and technical documentation that identify vulnerabilities, critical paths and mitigation options.
  • Investment Planning and Reporting: You will manage and report on planned resilience investments (scope, sequencing, budget, benefits), maintaining clear delivery baselines and outcomes for board and programme governance.
  • Standards and Best Practice: You will champion Power Resilience standards, policies and guidance, ensuring engineering best practice is embedded across delivery, maintenance and operations and aligned to regulatory requirements. (e.g. CDM, ESQCR)
  • Delivery Integration and Stakeholder Coordination: You will coordinate with internal and external teams to schedule planned power work, manage dependencies and ensure clean hand‑offs across teams.
What you should bring to the role?
  • Proven managerial experience leading technical/engineering teams with experience coaching and developing geographically dispersed teams.
  • Strong understanding of Health & Safety. (including CDM)
  • Held Operational Authorisations.
The essential criteria to help you succeed in this role is:
  • Knowledge of LV/HV electrical engineering and Power Resilience principles and understanding power system design, assessment and upgrade methodologies.
  • Strong understanding of regulatory compliance and safety standards. (CDM, ESQCR, IS standards)
  • Ability to interpret and approve technical documentation, single line diagrams and risk assessments.
  • Full UK Driving License.
  • Deep understanding of project and programme management tools. (e.g., MS Project, SAP) and familiarity with asset management and maintenance systems.
  • Data analysis and reporting for technical and compliance purposes.

What’s in it for you?
  • Offering a salary between £65,000 to £77,000 per annum, depending on skills and experience.
  • Annual Leave: 26 days holiday per year increasing to 30 with the length of service (plus bank holidays)
  • Car Allowance.
  • Performance-related pay plan directly linked to company performance measures and targets.
  • Generous Pension Scheme through AON.
  • Private Medical Health Care.
  • Access to lots of benefits to help you take care of you and your family’s health and wellbeing, and your finances – from annual health MOTs and access to physiotherapy and counselling, to Cycle to Work schemes, shopping vouchers and life assurance.
