Senior Water / Wastewater Planning Project Manager
We are seeking an experienced Senior Water / Wastewater Planning Project Manager to lead the delivery of complex planning and infrastructure programmes across the water and wastewater sector. This role will involve managing projects from initial concept and feasibility through to detailed planning, approvals, design development and implementation, ensuring that solutions are technically robust, commercially viable and aligned with regulatory, environmental and customer requirements.
You will provide strategic and technical leadership across multidisciplinary teams, coordinating engineers, planners, environmental specialists, contractors, consultants and external stakeholders. Key responsibilities will include defining project scopes and objectives, preparing and managing budgets and programmes, assessing network capacity and asset performance, developing investment and improvement strategies, and overseeing options appraisals and business cases. You will also lead the preparation of technical reports, planning submissions and regulatory documentation, while ensuring that all work complies with relevant legislation, standards, health and safety requirements and environmental commitments.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience delivering water or wastewater planning projects, ideally within a regulated utility, consultancy, engineering contractor or public-sector environment. You will possess strong knowledge of water and wastewater networks, asset planning, hydraulic or infrastructure modelling, regulatory frameworks and project governance. A relevant degree or equivalent professional qualification is required, together with proven experience managing budgets, risks, schedules and project teams. Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills are essential, as is the ability to present complex technical information clearly to senior decision-makers. You should be commercially aware, highly organised and confident working independently while contributing effectively to wider strategic programmes. Professional membership of a relevant engineering or environmental institution, and experience with industry-standard planning or modelling tools, would be advantageous.
