This role will oversee project planning, design coordination, procurement, construction, commissioning, and closeout, ensuring that works are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and to the required technical and quality standards. Projects may include treatment facilities, pumping stations, pipelines, reservoirs, networks, and associated civil, mechanical, and electrical infrastructure.
The successful candidate will develop and maintain project programmes, budgets, risk registers, procurement strategies, and reporting processes. You will coordinate multidisciplinary design and construction teams, consultants, contractors, suppliers, clients, regulators, and other stakeholders, providing clear direction and resolving issues promptly. Responsibilities will include monitoring progress and performance, managing change and commercial matters, supporting contract administration, reviewing technical deliverables, ensuring compliance with health and safety requirements, and leading regular project meetings and governance reviews.
