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.

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.
