Work Experience

Project Manager - Severn Trent Water Ltd Jan 1999 - Date

I am currently part of the implementation team responsible for the transition of 700 individuals into new roles, undertaking new processes. My specific responsibilities are for Billing Front Office teams and managing the effect transition has on both the new and existing processes. Included in this work is the management of the recruitment process covering 10 teams comprising 110 staff in total.
During a previous assignment I managed a project within our Business Change Programme designing a customer contact organisation based on process instead of geographical principles.The result of this produced an organisational design capable of enabling the current, most radical release of change to take place.
Between these two pieces of work I managed the introduction of two new call centres within Severn Trent Water to handle customer contacts on behalf of an internal client. This involved all aspects of the operation from the recruitment and training of staff to process mapping and performance monitoring. This was delivered on time and to budget.
I have been able to identify and influence stakeholders appropriately as well as developing further my understanding of business strategy. I have also applied formal training in staff motivational consultancy to assist me in maximising the breadth of my contribution to this project.
