Project Manager - Water
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of water and wastewater infrastructure projects. This role will oversee projects from initial planning and design through to construction, commissioning and handover, ensuring they are delivered safely, on time, within budget and to the required quality standards.
You will work closely with clients, consultants, contractors, regulators and internal teams to coordinate project activity and maintain strong professional relationships. The successful candidate will bring sound commercial awareness, excellent organisation skills and a practical understanding of water-sector delivery. This is a varied role requiring confident leadership, effective communication and the ability to manage competing priorities in a complex environment.
Key responsibilities
- Manage the full project lifecycle, including scope definition, programme development, procurement, construction and close-out.
- Prepare and maintain project programmes, budgets, risk registers and reporting documentation.
- Lead multidisciplinary project teams and coordinate the work of designers, contractors and specialist suppliers.
- Monitor progress, costs, quality, environmental performance and health and safety compliance.
- Identify and manage risks, issues, changes and opportunities, implementing appropriate mitigation and recovery plans.
- Engage with stakeholders and provide clear, accurate progress updates to senior management and project partners.
- Support contract administration, commercial reviews, valuations, variations and dispute resolution where required.
- Ensure projects comply with relevant legislation, industry standards, technical specifications and governance procedures.
About you
You will have proven experience managing water, wastewater, utilities, civil engineering or other technically complex infrastructure projects. A recognised project management qualification, such as APM, PRINCE2 or equivalent, would be advantageous, as would experience of NEC contracts and regulated environments.
With strong analytical and decision-making skills, you will be comfortable working independently while fostering a collaborative team culture. You will be able to influence stakeholders at all levels, manage challenging situations constructively and demonstrate a consistent commitment to safety, quality and sustainable project delivery.
