Senior Construction Representative - Water/Wastewater
We are seeking a Senior Construction Representative to oversee the delivery of complex water and wastewater infrastructure projects from construction through commissioning. The successful candidate will act as the owner’s representative on site, ensuring that works are completed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with approved designs, specifications, schedules, budgets, and regulatory requirements. Projects may include treatment facilities, pumping stations, pipelines, reservoirs, utilities, and associated civil, mechanical, and electrical works.
Key responsibilities include monitoring contractor performance, reviewing progress against the programme, coordinating site activities, and ensuring compliance with contract requirements and quality standards. You will review drawings, method statements, inspection and test plans, technical submittals, change requests, payment applications, and commissioning documentation. The role will involve leading regular site meetings, maintaining accurate records, identifying risks and potential delays, supporting resolution of technical issues, and escalating matters that may affect cost, safety, quality, or schedule. You will also coordinate with designers, contractors, consultants, utility providers, authorities, and other stakeholders, while promoting a positive and collaborative site culture.
Candidates should have significant experience supervising or managing construction activities on water, wastewater, or related utility 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 methods, contract administration, health and safety requirements, quality assurance, and environmental controls. Experience with major civil works, process equipment installation, testing, and commissioning will be highly valued. You should be confident interpreting technical documentation, using construction management and reporting systems, and communicating with stakeholders at all levels. Strong organisational, problem-solving, and decision-making skills are essential, along with the ability to work independently in a site-based environment and manage competing priorities. Relevant professional accreditation, safety training, and experience with recognised forms of contract will be advantageous.
