Senior Water Resources Project Manager
We are seeking a Senior Water Resources Project Manager to lead the planning, design, and delivery of complex water resources projects from concept through completion. This role will oversee multidisciplinary teams and manage programmes involving flood risk management, drainage, surface water, hydrology, hydraulic modelling, water infrastructure, and environmental resilience. You will act as a trusted adviser to clients and stakeholders, developing practical, sustainable solutions that meet technical, regulatory, financial, and community requirements.
Key responsibilities will include defining project scopes, preparing fee proposals and delivery plans, managing budgets, schedules, risks, and resources, and ensuring projects are delivered to a high standard. You will provide technical leadership, review reports and designs, interpret modelling outputs, and support the preparation of business cases, feasibility studies, planning submissions, and tender documentation. The role will also involve coordinating internal specialists, consultants, contractors, regulators, and client representatives, while maintaining clear communication throughout the project lifecycle. You will contribute to business development by identifying opportunities, developing client relationships, and supporting bids and presentations.
Applicants should have substantial professional experience in water resources, flood risk, drainage, or a closely related discipline, together with a relevant degree or equivalent qualification. Experience managing complex projects, multidisciplinary teams, budgets, and client relationships is essential. Strong knowledge of UK water, flood risk, and environmental legislation, industry standards, and relevant modelling or design tools is highly desirable. You should be commercially aware, organised, and confident communicating technical information to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. Professional registration or progress towards chartered status would be advantageous. A proactive approach, sound judgement, and commitment to quality, safety, sustainability, and inclusive collaboration are important for success in this position.
