Senior Construction Representative - Water/Wastewater
We are seeking a Senior Construction Representative to oversee the delivery of water and wastewater infrastructure projects from construction through commissioning. This role will provide senior site-based representation, ensuring that works are completed safely, efficiently, to the required quality standards, and in accordance with approved designs, specifications, programmes, permits, and contractual obligations. Projects may include treatment facilities, pumping stations, reservoirs, pipelines, utilities, and associated civil, mechanical, and electrical works.
Key responsibilities will include supervising contractors and consultants, monitoring progress against the approved schedule and budget, reviewing construction methods and documentation, and coordinating activities across multiple disciplines and stakeholders. You will inspect completed and ongoing works, identify defects or non-conformances, verify materials and workmanship, and ensure that corrective actions are implemented promptly. The role will also involve reviewing drawings, technical submittals, inspection and test plans, risk assessments, method statements, change requests, payment applications, and commissioning documentation.
You will lead or contribute to site meetings, progress reviews, safety briefings, and technical discussions, maintaining accurate records of decisions, risks, changes, and project status. Strong communication skills will be essential when working with contractors, design teams, authorities, utility providers, operators, and community representatives. You will support resolution of construction issues, assist with claims and contract administration, and help ensure smooth handover into operation, including the completion of testing, training, as-built records, and close-out documentation.
Applicants should have substantial experience supervising or managing construction on water, wastewater, or related heavy civil infrastructure projects. A degree, diploma, or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, construction management, or a related discipline is preferred, together with strong knowledge of construction practices, quality assurance, health and safety requirements, and contract administration. Professional registration or relevant industry certification would be advantageous. The successful candidate will be organised, decisive, commercially aware, and comfortable working independently in a site-based environment while maintaining a high standard of integrity and professional judgement.
