Water Resources Project Manager
We are seeking an experienced Water Resources Project Manager to lead the planning, design, and delivery of complex water, drainage, flood risk, and environmental infrastructure projects. This role will oversee projects from initial feasibility through to completion, ensuring they are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and to the required technical and regulatory standards. You will work closely with clients, consultants, contractors, regulators, and internal specialists to develop practical, sustainable solutions that respond to current and future water management challenges.
Your responsibilities will include preparing project briefs, scopes, programmes, budgets, risk registers, and delivery strategies; coordinating multidisciplinary design teams; managing procurement and contractor appointments; and monitoring progress, quality, costs, and change throughout the project lifecycle. You will lead technical reviews, planning and permitting activities, stakeholder engagement, site investigations, and construction support, while ensuring compliance with relevant legislation, health and safety requirements, environmental standards, and industry best practice. You will also provide clear progress reports, maintain accurate project documentation, and identify opportunities to improve processes and project outcomes.
Applicants should have a degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, water resources, environmental engineering, hydrology, or a related discipline, together with substantial experience managing water-related infrastructure or consultancy projects. A relevant professional accreditation or chartered status is desirable. You will need strong knowledge of flood risk management, drainage, hydraulic modelling, asset management, or water infrastructure, alongside proven budget, programme, and contract management skills. Excellent communication, negotiation, problem-solving, and leadership abilities are essential, as is the confidence to manage competing priorities and build effective relationships with a wide range of stakeholders. Experience with project management tools, technical reporting, and standard design and construction contracts will be advantageous.
