Project Manager - Water
We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of water and wastewater projects from initial planning through to completion. You will be responsible for managing project scope, programme, budget, quality, health and safety, and environmental performance, while ensuring that project objectives and stakeholder expectations are consistently met. The role will involve coordinating multidisciplinary teams, consultants, contractors, suppliers, and client representatives across all stages of delivery.
Your responsibilities will include preparing and maintaining project plans, budgets, risk registers, procurement schedules, and progress reports. You will monitor performance against agreed milestones, identify and manage risks, resolve issues, and implement effective change-control processes. You will also oversee design development, construction and commissioning activities, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation, technical standards, contractual obligations, and industry best practice. Building strong relationships with stakeholders will be essential, including facilitating meetings, communicating project updates, negotiating solutions, and maintaining clear records and documentation.
The successful candidate will have proven project management experience within the water, wastewater, utilities, infrastructure, or civil engineering sectors. A recognised project management qualification or relevant professional accreditation would be advantageous, along with experience managing complex capital projects and working under NEC or similar forms of contract. You should be commercially aware, highly organised, and confident interpreting technical information, financial data, and project performance metrics. Strong communication, leadership, problem-solving, and decision-making skills are essential, as is the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. A commitment to safe working practices, quality delivery, sustainability, and continuous improvement is expected. A relevant degree or equivalent professional experience, together with the ability to travel to project sites when required, would be beneficial.
