We are seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead the delivery of complex water and wastewater infrastructure projects from inception through to completion. This role will suit a confident project professional with a strong background in civil, utilities, or environmental engineering and a proven record of delivering technically demanding programmes safely, on time, and within budget. You will manage projects across the full lifecycle, including feasibility, design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover.
Key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining project execution plans, budgets, schedules, risk registers, and reporting frameworks; coordinating multidisciplinary design and delivery teams; and managing consultants, contractors, suppliers, and key stakeholders. You will provide strong leadership across project teams, ensure compliance with health, safety, environmental, quality, and regulatory requirements, and proactively identify and resolve technical, commercial, and operational issues. The role will also involve overseeing contract administration, change control, cost management, progress reporting, and performance against agreed project objectives. You will build effective relationships with clients, regulators, local authorities, and delivery partners while ensuring clear communication throughout the project lifecycle.
Applicants should have substantial experience managing water or wastewater projects, ideally within a regulated utility, engineering consultancy, contractor, or related infrastructure environment. A relevant degree or professional qualification in civil engineering, construction, project management, or a similar discipline is preferred, together with recognised project management or contract management certification. Strong knowledge of design and construction processes, health and safety standards, environmental legislation, procurement, and common forms of contract is essential. You will need excellent commercial awareness, organisational skills, and the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. The successful candidate will be an engaging leader, confident decision-maker, and clear communicator who can inspire project teams and deliver sustainable outcomes for communities and the environment.
