Program Manager - Water & Wastewater Infrastructure
We are seeking an experienced Program Manager to lead the planning and delivery of major water and wastewater infrastructure programs. This role will oversee multiple projects across the full lifecycle, from early business case development and option assessment through design, procurement, construction, commissioning and handover. You will establish clear program objectives, delivery strategies, governance frameworks, schedules and budgets, ensuring that projects are aligned with operational requirements, regulatory obligations and long-term asset plans.
Key responsibilities include managing program scope, cost, risk, quality, resources and performance; coordinating internal technical teams, consultants, contractors, authorities and community stakeholders; and providing accurate reporting to senior decision-makers. You will lead procurement and contract management activities, monitor design and construction performance, resolve complex issues, and drive continuous improvement in delivery processes. The role will also involve ensuring that health, safety, environmental and sustainability standards are embedded throughout the program, with a strong focus on resilience, constructability, operational continuity and value for money.
To be successful, you will have significant experience managing complex infrastructure programs, ideally within water, wastewater, utilities, civil construction or a similarly regulated environment. You will bring strong knowledge of project and program management methodologies, design and construction practices, commercial management, risk controls and relevant statutory requirements. A degree or equivalent qualification in engineering, project management, construction management or a related discipline is desirable, together with demonstrated experience leading multidisciplinary teams and delivering high-value capital works. Strong communication, negotiation and stakeholder management skills are essential, as is the ability to make sound decisions in a complex and changing environment. The successful candidate will be organised, commercially aware and committed to achieving safe, sustainable and reliable infrastructure outcomes.
