Senior Water / Wastewater Project Manager
We are seeking a Senior Water / Wastewater Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of complex infrastructure projects from initial planning through to completion. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced professional to manage multidisciplinary teams, oversee technical and commercial performance, and contribute to the development of resilient water and wastewater assets. Projects may include treatment facilities, pumping stations, pipelines, network upgrades, and other essential infrastructure.
You will take responsibility for project scope, programme, budget, procurement, risk, quality, health and safety, and stakeholder communication. Key duties will include coordinating design and construction activities; managing consultants, contractors, and internal teams; monitoring progress and financial performance; reviewing technical outputs; administering contracts; and ensuring projects are delivered in accordance with regulatory, environmental, and client requirements. You will also identify and resolve risks, lead project meetings, prepare reports and forecasts, support bids and business development, and provide guidance to less experienced project managers and engineers.
Applicants should have substantial experience managing water or wastewater projects, ideally within a consultancy, contractor, utility, or related infrastructure environment. A degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, environmental engineering, construction management, or a similar discipline is preferred, together with relevant professional accreditation or a recognised project management qualification. Strong knowledge of project delivery methodologies, contract administration, cost control, design management, and applicable health, safety, and environmental standards is essential. You will need excellent communication, negotiation, leadership, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to build effective relationships across technical, commercial, operational, and client teams. The role requires a proactive, organised approach and the confidence to make sound decisions in a complex and evolving project environment.
