Project Manager - Water/Wastewater
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of water and wastewater infrastructure projects. You will be responsible for managing projects from initial planning and design through to construction, commissioning and handover, ensuring that work is delivered safely, efficiently, on time and within budget.
Working closely with clients, consultants, contractors and internal teams, you will provide clear direction and maintain strong relationships throughout the project lifecycle. The role will involve overseeing multiple workstreams, managing risks and resolving technical or operational challenges in a structured and commercially aware manner.
Key responsibilities
- Lead the planning, delivery and close-out of water and wastewater projects.
- Develop and maintain detailed programmes, budgets, forecasts and project documentation.
- Coordinate design, procurement, construction and commissioning activities.
- Manage project risks, issues, changes and dependencies, implementing effective mitigation plans.
- Monitor contractor and consultant performance against agreed scope, quality, cost and programme requirements.
- Ensure compliance with relevant health and safety, environmental, regulatory and technical standards.
- Prepare progress reports and provide accurate updates to senior stakeholders and clients.
- Support commercial management, including contract administration, valuations and change control.
- Promote a collaborative, safety-focused and continuous improvement culture across project teams.
About you
You will have proven experience managing infrastructure projects within the water, wastewater, utilities, civil engineering or construction sectors. A strong understanding of project management principles, contract processes, construction methods and health and safety requirements is essential.
Excellent communication, organisation and stakeholder management skills are required, together with the ability to prioritise competing demands and make sound decisions under pressure. Experience of working with regulated water industry clients, delivery partners or capital investment programmes would be advantageous.
A relevant qualification in project management, engineering, construction or a related discipline is desirable. Professional membership or a recognised project management qualification would also be beneficial. This role may involve travel to project sites and occasional work outside standard hours.
