Unless you have a background in construction or engineering do not apply for the PM role at TW. The interviewers were lovely but if you are external to the industry it is just a ticket box exercise for them you won't be considered for the job.

I was told by one of the hiring managers, who phoned me unannounced before the interview, that I “was not the kind of person they looked for” but that they would interview me because HR had recommended me. He then asked me “if I knew what I was getting into” and whether I expected “a silly salary.” I did my best to answer professionally and respectfully. This seemed to be in line with other glassdoor reports of HR and hiring managers at Thames not being aligned around the “diversity” issue. I decided to go ahead with the interview for the experience, but expected nothing to come of it after that conversation. The interview took place over Teams, with the two interviewers telling me they had a “script” and had to stick to it. They asked fairly routine project management competence/experience type questions. Both interviewers were men with backgrounds in engineering who had been with Thames for many years.
