Project Manager - Water/Wastewater
We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of water and wastewater projects from initial planning through to completion. This role will involve managing projects across treatment, networks, infrastructure and related capital works, ensuring that they are delivered safely, on time, within budget and to the required quality standards. You will take ownership of project objectives, establish delivery plans and coordinate activities across internal teams, consultants, contractors, suppliers and other stakeholders.
Key responsibilities will include preparing and managing project programmes, budgets, risk registers and reporting processes; overseeing design development, procurement, construction and commissioning activities; and monitoring progress against agreed milestones. You will ensure that health, safety, environmental and regulatory requirements are fully embedded throughout the project lifecycle. The role will also involve managing change control, resolving technical and commercial issues, reviewing contractor performance, and maintaining clear communication with stakeholders at all levels. You will be expected to identify potential risks and opportunities, implement effective mitigation measures and provide accurate updates to senior colleagues.
Applicants should have proven project management experience within the water, wastewater, utilities, civil engineering or wider infrastructure sectors, with a strong understanding of project delivery principles and construction processes. Experience managing multidisciplinary teams, contractors and complex supply chains is essential, along with a sound knowledge of health and safety, quality assurance, contract administration and budget control. A relevant qualification in project management, engineering, construction or a related discipline is desirable, and professional accreditation would be advantageous. You will be organised, commercially aware and confident making decisions in a changing environment. Excellent communication, negotiation and stakeholder management skills are required, together with the ability to manage competing priorities and maintain a strong focus on safe, sustainable and high-quality delivery.
