Transportation Hydraulic Water Resources Project Manager

We are seeking an experienced Transportation Hydraulic Water Resources Project Manager to lead the delivery of complex water, drainage and flood risk management projects associated with transport infrastructure. This role will involve managing projects from initial feasibility and concept design through to detailed design, construction support and completion, while ensuring high standards of technical quality, safety and environmental performance.

You will work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, contractors, regulators, local authorities and other stakeholders to develop practical, sustainable solutions. The successful candidate will provide technical leadership, manage budgets and programmes, and support the growth of hydraulic and water resources capabilities across a varied project portfolio.

Key responsibilities

  • Manage the planning, design and delivery of highway drainage, flood risk, surface water and water environment projects.
  • Lead hydraulic modelling, hydrology assessments, drainage strategies and flood risk evaluations.
  • Coordinate multidisciplinary teams and review technical reports, drawings, specifications and calculations.
  • Prepare project scopes, fee proposals, programmes, risk registers and budget forecasts.
  • Maintain effective communication with clients, stakeholders, contractors and statutory authorities.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentoring to engineers and less experienced team members.
  • Support consenting, planning and environmental assessment processes where required.
  • Monitor project performance, ensuring compliance with relevant standards, legislation and quality procedures.

About you

You will be a qualified civil, hydraulic or water resources engineer with substantial experience delivering projects within the highways, transportation or infrastructure sectors. Professional registration, or active progress towards registration, is desirable. You should have strong knowledge of UK drainage guidance, flood risk principles, sustainable drainage systems and relevant technical standards.

Experience with hydraulic modelling software, such as Innovyze, Flood Modeller, TUFLOW or equivalent, would be advantageous. Strong project management, commercial awareness and stakeholder engagement skills are essential, together with the ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of challenging infrastructure projects, influence sustainable design outcomes and contribute to the development of a collaborative, high-performing technical team.
