We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of wastewater infrastructure and treatment projects. This role will oversee projects from initial planning and design through procurement, construction, commissioning and handover, ensuring that work is delivered safely, on time, within budget and to the required quality standards.

You will manage multiple stakeholders, coordinate multidisciplinary teams and maintain strong relationships with clients, contractors, consultants, regulators and local communities. The successful candidate will bring sound technical understanding, commercial awareness and a proven ability to manage complex projects in a regulated infrastructure or utilities environment.

Key responsibilities

  • Develop and manage project programmes, budgets, risk registers, procurement activities and change control processes.
  • Coordinate design, engineering, construction and commissioning teams to ensure effective project delivery.

  • Identify project risks and opportunities, implementing appropriate mitigation and corrective actions.
  • Support contract administration, commercial negotiations and the resolution of technical or delivery issues.
  • Promote collaborative working and continuous improvement across all project activities.

About you

You will have demonstrable experience managing wastewater, water, civil engineering or comparable infrastructure projects, ideally within a design-and-build, framework or regulated environment. A relevant qualification in engineering, project management, construction or a related discipline is desirable, together with recognised project management training or certification.

You should be confident interpreting technical information, managing competing priorities and communicating effectively with people at all levels. Strong commercial judgement, organisational skills and a practical approach to problem-solving are essential. Experience with health and safety requirements, environmental legislation, NEC contracts and industry standards would be advantageous.

This is an opportunity to contribute to essential infrastructure projects that support resilient, sustainable water services and deliver meaningful benefits for communities and the environment.
