We are seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager, Water/Wastewater, to lead the successful delivery of complex infrastructure projects from initial planning through to completion.

You will coordinate multidisciplinary design and construction teams, manage consultants, contractors, suppliers, and subcontractors, and oversee contract administration and change control. The role will involve monitoring progress, resolving technical and commercial issues, leading project meetings, and maintaining clear communication with clients, regulatory bodies, delivery partners, and internal stakeholders.
