Construction Manager - Water/Wastewater
We are seeking an experienced Construction Manager to lead the delivery of water and wastewater infrastructure projects from mobilisation through to completion. This role will oversee site operations, coordinate construction activities, and ensure that projects are delivered safely, efficiently, on programme, and within budget. You will work closely with project managers, engineers, subcontractors, suppliers, clients, and regulatory stakeholders to achieve high standards of quality and performance.
Key responsibilities will include planning and managing day-to-day construction activities; coordinating labour, plant, materials, and specialist subcontractors; monitoring progress against agreed programmes; and identifying and resolving technical, commercial, and operational issues. You will ensure that all works comply with approved designs, specifications, permits, environmental requirements, and relevant health and safety legislation. The role will also involve leading site teams, conducting inspections and progress meetings, reviewing risk assessments and method statements, maintaining accurate records, and supporting cost control, change management, commissioning, and handover activities.
Applicants should have proven experience managing construction projects within the water, wastewater, utilities, civil engineering, or related infrastructure sectors. A strong understanding of water and wastewater treatment, pipelines, pumping stations, reservoirs, civils, mechanical, or electrical installation works would be highly advantageous. You will need excellent leadership, communication, planning, and problem-solving skills, together with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a demanding site environment. Relevant construction or engineering qualifications are desirable, as is membership of a recognised professional body and appropriate site safety certification. A proactive approach, strong commercial awareness, and a commitment to quality, collaboration, and continuous improvement are essential.
