The successful candidate will bring strong commercial awareness, sound technical understanding and a proven ability to manage complex projects in a regulated utilities or civil engineering environment.
Key responsibilities

- Develop and maintain project execution plans, schedules, forecasts and progress reports.
- Coordinate design, procurement, construction, testing, commissioning and handover activities.
- Monitor contractor performance and ensure compliance with specifications, contractual obligations and health and safety requirements.
- Build effective relationships with clients, regulators, delivery partners and internal stakeholders.
- Identify and manage risks, changes, opportunities, claims and commercial issues.
- Promote a positive safety culture and ensure environmental and quality standards are maintained.
- Provide leadership, mentoring and support to project managers and wider delivery teams.
About you
You will have substantial experience managing water, wastewater, utilities, infrastructure or similarly complex engineering projects, ideally within a client, consultancy or contractor environment. A recognised project management, engineering or construction qualification is desirable, together with experience of NEC or other major forms of contract.
You should be commercially astute, highly organised and confident working with senior stakeholders. Excellent communication, negotiation and decision-making skills are essential, alongside the ability to manage competing priorities and deliver results in a demanding environment. A commitment to health, safety, sustainability and continuous improvement is also expected.
This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to important infrastructure projects while developing your career within a collaborative and forward-thinking professional environment.
