Water/Wastewater Senior Project Manager
We are seeking an experienced Water/Wastewater Senior Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of complex infrastructure projects from concept through to completion. This role will suit a commercially aware and technically capable professional with a strong background in water, wastewater, utilities, or related civil engineering environments. You will be responsible for overseeing project scope, programme, budget, quality, health and safety, environmental performance, and stakeholder expectations across multiple workstreams.
Key responsibilities will include managing multidisciplinary design and delivery teams, coordinating consultants, contractors, suppliers, and client representatives, and ensuring projects are delivered in accordance with contractual, regulatory, and industry requirements. You will develop and maintain project execution plans, schedules, risk registers, cost forecasts, procurement strategies, and reporting frameworks. The role will also involve monitoring progress, managing change control, resolving technical and commercial issues, supporting tendering and contract negotiations, and providing clear updates to senior stakeholders. You will promote collaborative working practices and ensure that lessons learned, sustainability objectives, quality standards, and continuous improvement are embedded throughout project delivery.
Applicants should hold a relevant degree or professional qualification in civil engineering, environmental engineering, construction management, or a related discipline, together with substantial project management experience within the water or wastewater sector. A recognised project or programme management qualification and professional membership are desirable. You will need a proven record of delivering complex capital projects, strong knowledge of construction contracts and commercial controls, and experience managing budgets, risks, programmes, and multidisciplinary teams. Excellent communication, negotiation, leadership, and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to build effective relationships with clients and delivery partners. The position may involve travel to project sites and attendance at stakeholder meetings, so flexibility and a practical, delivery-focused approach are required.
