We are seeking an experienced Water Resources Project Manager to lead the planning, delivery and oversight of complex water-related projects from inception through to completion. The successful candidate will manage programmes involving water supply, drainage, flood risk management, stormwater, wastewater, river restoration or related infrastructure, ensuring that projects are delivered safely, on time, within budget and to the required technical and regulatory standards.
Responsibilities will include defining project scope, objectives, deliverables, schedules and budgets; coordinating multidisciplinary design and delivery teams; appointing and managing consultants, contractors and specialist suppliers; and monitoring progress, risks, costs, quality and performance. You will prepare reports and project documentation, manage change control, contribute to procurement and contract administration, and provide clear updates to stakeholders. The role will also involve engaging with regulators, local authorities, landowners, communities and other partners, resolving technical or commercial issues, and ensuring that environmental, health and safety and sustainability requirements are embedded throughout the project lifecycle.
Applicants should have proven experience managing water resources, civil engineering or environmental infrastructure projects, together with a relevant degree or equivalent professional experience. A recognised project management, engineering or environmental qualification would be advantageous. You will need strong knowledge of project governance, risk management, financial control, regulatory requirements and relevant industry standards, as well as experience using project planning and reporting tools. Excellent communication, negotiation and leadership skills are essential, along with the ability to manage competing priorities and make sound, evidence-based decisions. A proactive, collaborative approach and a commitment to delivering resilient, sustainable water solutions are highly valued.
