Sr. Project Manager- Wet Utilities, Water, Sewer, Storm-Open Cut
We are seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead the delivery of wet utility infrastructure projects, including water, sewer, stormwater and open-cut construction. This role will oversee projects from preconstruction through completion, ensuring work is delivered safely, on schedule, within budget and to the required quality standards. The successful candidate will provide strong leadership across field operations, project engineering, estimating, subcontractor coordination and client communications.
Key responsibilities include developing and managing project schedules, budgets, forecasts and execution plans; reviewing contracts, drawings, specifications and construction methods; coordinating permits, utility stakeholders, inspections and approvals; and monitoring productivity, costs, changes, risks and claims. You will lead regular progress meetings, maintain accurate project documentation, review subcontractor performance and negotiate change orders where required. The role also involves directing the resolution of technical and operational issues, supporting procurement and resource planning, and ensuring compliance with applicable safety, environmental and regulatory requirements. You will be expected to build effective working relationships with clients, consultants, authorities, suppliers and internal teams while maintaining clear and timely communication throughout the project lifecycle.
Applicants should have substantial experience managing civil construction projects involving underground wet utilities, water distribution, sanitary sewer, storm drainage and open-cut excavation. A strong understanding of construction sequencing, utility relocation, trench safety, dewatering, shoring, traffic control, testing and commissioning is required. Experience managing multiple projects or large, complex infrastructure packages is highly desirable. You should be commercially aware, confident interpreting contracts and financial reports, and capable of making sound decisions in a fast-paced environment. Strong leadership, negotiation, organisation and problem-solving skills are essential, along with proficiency in project management and document-control systems. Relevant qualifications in civil engineering, construction management or a related discipline, together with appropriate professional certifications, will be considered an advantage.
