Water Resources/Stormwater - Project Manager
We are seeking an experienced Water Resources/Stormwater Project Manager to lead the planning, design, and delivery of stormwater and water resources projects from initial concept through to completion. This role will involve managing multiple projects, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, and delivering practical, sustainable solutions that meet technical, environmental, regulatory, and client requirements. Projects may include stormwater management systems, drainage networks, flood studies, water quality initiatives, detention and retention facilities, creek and waterway improvements, and broader water-sensitive urban design outcomes.
Key responsibilities will include preparing project scopes, programs, budgets, and risk assessments; overseeing technical investigations, modelling, design development, approvals, procurement, and construction support; and ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and to a high standard. You will provide technical guidance to project teams, review engineering documentation, manage consultants and contractors, monitor progress and financial performance, and maintain clear communication with internal and external stakeholders. The role will also involve identifying project risks and opportunities, resolving complex issues, contributing to business development activities, and supporting continuous improvement in project delivery practices.
To succeed in this position, you will have relevant qualifications in civil engineering, water resources engineering, environmental engineering, or a related discipline, together with demonstrated experience managing stormwater or water infrastructure projects. Strong knowledge of hydrology, hydraulics, drainage design, flood risk management, and relevant legislation and standards is highly desirable. Experience with industry modelling and design software, project management systems, contract administration, and stakeholder engagement will be advantageous. You will be an organised and commercially aware professional with excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong analytical ability, and a collaborative leadership style. A commitment to safety, sustainability, quality, and delivering positive outcomes for communities is essential.
