Senior Project Manager - Water/Wastewater
We are seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of complex water and wastewater infrastructure projects from initial planning through to completion. This role will oversee multiple projects, ensuring they are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and to the required quality and regulatory standards. The successful candidate will work closely with clients, consultants, contractors, regulators, local authorities, and internal stakeholders to establish clear objectives and maintain strong professional relationships throughout the project lifecycle.
Key responsibilities will include developing and managing project execution plans, programmes, budgets, risk registers, procurement strategies, and reporting systems. You will coordinate design development, construction activities, commissioning, and handover while monitoring progress against agreed milestones and performance measures. The role will involve reviewing technical documentation, managing change control, resolving complex issues, and ensuring compliance with health and safety, environmental, contractual, and industry requirements. You will also lead project meetings, provide accurate progress updates, and support the preparation of business cases, tenders, and investment proposals where required.
Applicants should have significant experience managing major water, wastewater, utilities, civil engineering, or related infrastructure projects, ideally within a regulated or publicly funded environment. A strong understanding of water and wastewater treatment, networks, pumping stations, pipelines, or associated infrastructure is highly desirable. You will need proven experience in contract administration, commercial management, stakeholder engagement, and leading multidisciplinary teams. Excellent communication, negotiation, organisation, and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to make sound decisions in a complex and changing environment. A relevant degree or professional qualification in engineering, project management, construction, or a related discipline is preferred. Professional accreditation and experience with recognised contract forms will be advantageous.
