We are seeking a Senior Project Manager with a civil engineering background and substantial experience delivering water and wastewater infrastructure projects. This is an opportunity to lead complex programmes from initial feasibility and design through procurement, construction, commissioning and handover. The successful candidate will manage projects safely, efficiently and to agreed standards for quality, cost, programme and environmental performance.
You will take overall responsibility for project delivery, coordinating multidisciplinary design teams, contractors, consultants, suppliers and client representatives. Key duties will include developing and managing project execution plans, budgets, schedules, risk registers and change-control processes; monitoring progress and financial performance; resolving technical and commercial issues; and ensuring compliance with relevant legislation, specifications, health and safety requirements and environmental commitments. You will lead project meetings, prepare clear reports for senior stakeholders, manage procurement and contract administration, and maintain strong relationships throughout the project lifecycle. The role may also involve mentoring project managers and engineers, supporting business development, contributing to bids and identifying opportunities to improve delivery methods and operational efficiency.
Applicants should hold a degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, construction management or a related discipline, with significant experience managing major water, wastewater or civil infrastructure schemes. A recognised project or programme management qualification and professional engineering accreditation would be advantageous. You will need strong knowledge of construction methods, design coordination, commercial controls, risk management and relevant contract forms.
