We are seeking a Senior Water/Wastewater Project Manager to lead the delivery of complex infrastructure projects from initial planning and design through construction, commissioning, and closeout. This role will oversee programmes involving water treatment, wastewater treatment, pumping stations, pipelines, reservoirs, drainage, and associated civil, mechanical, and electrical works. The successful candidate will be responsible for maintaining project scope, schedule, budget, quality, and safety objectives while ensuring compliance with applicable regulations, contractual requirements, and industry standards.
Key responsibilities include developing project execution plans, budgets, schedules, risk registers, procurement strategies, and resource plans; coordinating multidisciplinary design and construction teams; managing consultants, contractors, suppliers, and stakeholders; and reviewing technical deliverables to ensure they meet agreed requirements. You will monitor progress, identify risks and opportunities, manage changes and claims, and provide clear reports and recommendations to senior leadership and clients. The role will also involve supporting bids and proposals, contributing to business development, mentoring project staff, and promoting effective health, safety, environmental, and quality practices across all project activities.
Applicants should have a degree or equivalent qualification in civil, environmental, mechanical, or a related engineering discipline, along with substantial experience managing water and wastewater infrastructure projects.

You will need proven experience in project delivery, contract administration, cost control, construction management, and stakeholder engagement, with a strong understanding of relevant design standards, permitting processes, and health and safety legislation. Excellent communication, negotiation, organisation, and problem-solving skills are essential, as is the ability to manage multiple priorities and lead teams in a demanding project environment. Experience with recognised project management methods and contract forms such as NEC or FIDIC would be advantageous.
