The Role
Utilities Supervisor (Water) are the vital link between the field teams and senior management. I am looking for experienced leaders to help deliver efficient, safe, and high-quality operations.
As a Supervisor on the Anglian Water Alliance, you’ll oversee the performance of our field resources on the maintenance and repair contract. Working closely with multiple stakeholders, you’ll ensure projects run smoothly – from planning work and controlling plant and labour to managing risks and keeping everything compliant.
This is a fast-paced environment, your health & safety expertise and organisational skills will be put to great use. You’ll lead the field teams, making sure they have the guidance, resources, and mentoring needed to deliver a right first time service while promoting a Zero Harm safety culture.
Here are some of the activities you will be involved in…
* Onsite management of repair teams carrying out reactive water leaks and maintenance.
* Maintain regular contact with dig teams to ensure safe working and access to necessary resources.
* Liaise with Highways and other stakeholders to keep operations running without disruption.
* Order and manage plant and water fittings.
* Overcome site restrictions to progress jobs efficiently.
* Manage KPIs, compliance checks, workbaskets, and performance reviews.
* Monitor and reduce aborts, re-work, and traffic management fines.
* Oversee employee training and ongoing development.
* Complete timesheets and ensure all administration is accurate and timely.
What We’re Looking For…
You’ll be an experienced supervisor with a strong background in managing onsite water repair teams and a solid understanding of the water and construction industry. You will hold SMSTS, a Water Hygiene Blue Card, and NRSWA Supervisor accreditation, alongside a proven health and safety track record. A full, clean UK driving licence is essential.
You’ll be confident in leading teams, managing resources, and solving problems under pressure. You’ll be organised and proactive, capable of maintaining high standards while meeting tight deadlines. Above all, you’ll bring the right behaviours – motivating others, maintaining a safe working environment, and delivering work to the highest standard every time
