Sr Water Utility Project Manager
We are seeking a Senior Water Utility Project Manager to lead the planning, delivery and successful completion of complex water and wastewater infrastructure projects. This is a senior role requiring strong technical, commercial and stakeholder-management skills, with responsibility for delivering projects safely, efficiently, on schedule and within budget. The successful candidate will manage projects from feasibility and design through procurement, construction, commissioning and close-out, while ensuring compliance with relevant legislation, regulatory standards, specifications and asset-management requirements.
Key responsibilities will include developing project scopes, programmes, budgets, risk registers and delivery strategies; coordinating multidisciplinary design and construction teams; managing consultants, contractors, suppliers and framework partners; and monitoring progress against agreed cost, time, quality, health and safety and environmental objectives. You will oversee procurement and contract administration, assess variations and claims, maintain accurate project records, and provide clear financial and performance reporting to senior stakeholders. The role will also involve identifying and mitigating delivery risks, resolving technical and operational issues, supporting approvals and regulatory submissions, and ensuring effective communication with customers, landowners, local authorities and other external parties.
Applicants should have substantial experience managing major water, wastewater, utilities or other civil infrastructure projects, ideally within a regulated environment. A relevant qualification in civil engineering, construction, project management or a related discipline is preferred, together with recognised project or programme management training. You will be confident interpreting technical information, commercial documentation and construction contracts, and experienced in leading teams through complex delivery challenges. Strong communication, negotiation, organisation and decision-making skills are essential, as is a proactive approach to health, safety, sustainability and quality. The ability to manage multiple priorities and build effective relationships at all levels will be critical to success.
