Project Director - Water Business

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Project Director to lead the delivery and growth of a diverse water infrastructure portfolio. This senior role will oversee complex programmes from initial development through to completion, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, commercially and to the highest technical standards.

Working with clients, delivery partners, consultants and internal teams, you will provide strategic direction across multiple projects and build strong, lasting relationships with key stakeholders. You will be responsible for setting project objectives, managing resources and maintaining effective governance throughout the project lifecycle.

Key responsibilities

  • Lead the planning, development and delivery of major water and wastewater projects and programmes.
  • Set clear priorities, performance measures and delivery plans aligned with client and business objectives.
  • Manage project budgets, forecasts, commercial performance, procurement and contractual obligations.
  • Identify and mitigate programme risks, issues, dependencies and opportunities.
  • Ensure compliance with health, safety, environmental, quality and regulatory requirements.
  • Develop high-performing multidisciplinary teams and provide visible leadership throughout delivery.
  • Prepare and present progress reports, investment cases and recommendations to senior stakeholders.
  • Support business development by identifying opportunities, contributing to bids and strengthening client relationships.

About you

You will be an accomplished project or programme leader with substantial experience delivering major infrastructure schemes, ideally within the water, utilities, construction or engineering sectors. You will bring strong commercial awareness, sound judgement and a proven ability to manage complex stakeholder environments.

Relevant professional qualifications in engineering, project management, construction or a related discipline are desirable. Membership of an appropriate professional institution, alongside experience of recognised project and risk management methodologies, would be advantageous.

Strategic, collaborative and outcomes-focused, you will be confident making decisions, influencing at senior level and leading teams through change. The role may involve travel to project sites and client locations, so flexibility and a commitment to safe, sustainable delivery are essential.
