Senior Project Manager- Water/Wastewater
We are seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead the delivery of complex water and wastewater infrastructure projects from inception through to completion. This role will oversee project planning, design coordination, procurement, construction, commissioning and handover, ensuring that all work is delivered safely, on time, within budget and to the required quality standards. Projects may include treatment facilities, pumping stations, pipelines, networks, reservoirs and associated civil, mechanical, electrical and process infrastructure.
You will take overall responsibility for project performance, establishing clear programmes, budgets, risk registers and reporting processes. Key duties will include managing multidisciplinary design and delivery teams, coordinating consultants, contractors and suppliers, monitoring progress against milestones, and implementing effective change-control procedures. You will lead commercial and contractual discussions, oversee cost management and forecasting, and ensure compliance with relevant legislation, technical standards, environmental requirements and health and safety procedures. The role will also involve building strong relationships with clients and stakeholders, preparing regular progress reports, resolving complex delivery issues and supporting the development of less experienced project professionals.
Applicants should have substantial project management experience within the water, wastewater, utilities, infrastructure or civil engineering sectors, with a proven record of successfully delivering major capital projects. A degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, construction management, project management or a related discipline is preferred, together with a recognised project management or construction qualification. Strong knowledge of NEC or similar forms of contract, project controls, risk management and financial reporting is essential. You will need excellent communication, leadership, negotiation and problem-solving skills, as well as the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. Professional accreditation and experience working in regulated utility environments would be advantageous.
