About the Role
Power Resilience plays a crucial role in Thames Water’s ability to provide safe, reliable services to millions of customers. We are expanding our Power Resilience team to enhance how power is planned, maintained, and improved across our operations. As Coordination & Planning Manager, you will lead the planning and coordination of power-related activities, ensuring critical maintenance, resilience improvements, and outage activities are effectively planned and delivered in line with customer service levels and regulatory requirements.

You will collaborate closely with operational teams to support Power Resilience delivery, identify opportunities to reduce conflicts, and minimise disruption to capital delivery programmes. This role offers a unique chance to contribute to vital UK infrastructure and make a meaningful difference to customers and the environment.

Key responsibilities include:
- Supporting, guiding, and developing the planning team to integrate engineering, analytics, and operational delivery plans
- Overseeing coordination and planning of power-related field activities aligned with SLAs, regulatory requirements, and business priorities
- Collaborating with Power Resilience colleagues and wider teams to align plans across engineering, maintenance, operations, and delivery
- Building positive relationships with internal and external stakeholders to coordinate planned and reactive works, optimise resources, and minimise service disruption
- Developing, monitoring, and reporting on planning KPIs, budgets, and compliance to support continuous improvement and high-quality planning performance

This is an excellent opportunity to share your ideas, shape future ways of working, and create lasting positive impact across Thames Water as the team grows.

Experience
- Planning or coordination experience within utilities, engineering, or a regulated environment
- Supporting, guiding, or developing a team
- Working collaboratively with engineering, operations, contractor, or delivery teams

- Good understanding of planning and coordination principles, tools, and systems such as MS Project, SAP, or similar
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to solve problems and make informed recommendations
- Commercial awareness and confidence working with diverse information sources and stakeholders
- Proficient IT skills, including planning and reporting software
