Water/Wastewater Senior Project Manager
We are seeking an experienced Water/Wastewater Senior Project Manager to lead the delivery of complex infrastructure and treatment projects from initial planning through to completion. This role will oversee multidisciplinary teams, manage client relationships, and ensure projects are delivered safely, sustainably, on time, and within budget. The successful candidate will contribute to business development, strengthen stakeholder partnerships, and help shape innovative solutions for critical water and wastewater challenges.
Responsibilities will include managing project scope, programme, resources, procurement, risk, quality, and commercial performance across multiple concurrent projects. You will coordinate engineers, contractors, consultants, suppliers, and operational teams while maintaining clear communication with clients and regulatory stakeholders. The role will involve reviewing designs, approving technical documentation, monitoring construction and commissioning activities, and ensuring compliance with applicable legislation, standards, health and safety requirements, and environmental commitments. You will also lead progress meetings, prepare reports and forecasts, resolve project issues, and implement effective change-control processes.
Applicants should have substantial experience managing water, wastewater, utilities, civil engineering, or related infrastructure projects, ideally from feasibility and design through construction and handover. A degree or equivalent qualification in civil, environmental, process, or related engineering is preferred, together with recognised project management or professional accreditation. Strong commercial awareness, contract administration experience, and knowledge of common delivery models are highly desirable. You will need excellent leadership, organisation, negotiation, and communication skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels and make sound decisions in a demanding environment. Experience with treatment works, pumping stations, pipelines, networks, or asset improvement programmes would be advantageous. The position may require travel to project and client sites.
