Sr. Project Manager - Water
We are seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of complex water and wastewater projects from early planning through to completion. This role will oversee project scope, programme, budget, quality, health and safety, environmental performance, and stakeholder engagement, ensuring that projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and in line with contractual and regulatory requirements. You will provide visible leadership across project teams, coordinate internal and external resources, and establish clear objectives, governance, reporting, and delivery plans.
Key responsibilities will include managing design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover activities; monitoring progress against milestones and financial targets; identifying and mitigating project risks; and managing change, claims, and commercial issues. You will work closely with clients, consultants, contractors, regulators, local authorities, and supply chain partners, maintaining strong relationships and resolving issues promptly. The role will also involve leading project meetings, reviewing technical and commercial information, producing accurate reports, and ensuring that lessons learned are captured and applied across future programmes. You will be expected to promote collaborative working and continually identify opportunities to improve delivery, value, and sustainability.
You will bring substantial experience managing major water, wastewater, utilities, infrastructure, or similarly complex engineering projects, ideally within a contractor, consultancy, or asset-owner environment. A strong understanding of project controls, construction methodology, contract administration, risk management, and health and safety legislation is essential. Experience with relevant forms of contract, such as NEC or equivalent, would be advantageous. The successful candidate will be commercially aware, highly organised, and confident communicating with stakeholders at all levels. You should be able to lead multidisciplinary teams, make sound decisions under pressure, and balance competing priorities while maintaining a clear focus on quality and customer outcomes. A relevant degree or professional qualification in engineering, construction, project management, or a related discipline is desirable, together with recognised project management accreditation or demonstrable equivalent experience.
