Senior Project Manager, Water District
An experienced Senior Project Manager is required to lead the planning and delivery of major water infrastructure and improvement programmes. This is an opportunity to manage complex, high-value projects that support the reliability, resilience and long-term development of essential water services.
Working across internal teams, consultants, contractors, regulators and community stakeholders, you will take projects from initial definition and business case development through design, procurement, construction, commissioning and close-out. You will ensure that work is delivered safely, sustainably, on time, within budget and to the required quality standards.
Key responsibilities
- Lead a portfolio of water, wastewater, treatment, network or associated civil infrastructure projects.
- Develop and maintain project plans, budgets, risk registers, delivery strategies and governance documentation.
- Manage multidisciplinary project teams and coordinate the work of designers, technical specialists, contractors and suppliers.
- Oversee procurement, contract administration, change control, commercial performance and dispute resolution.
- Monitor progress against agreed milestones, costs, benefits, safety requirements and environmental commitments.
- Prepare clear reports and recommendations for senior leadership and project governance boards.
- Build effective relationships with regulators, landowners, local authorities and other external stakeholders.
- Identify opportunities to improve delivery methods, value for money, sustainability and customer outcomes.
About you
You will have substantial experience managing complex capital projects within the water, utilities, construction, engineering or infrastructure sectors. A recognised project management qualification, such as APM, PRINCE2 or equivalent, is desirable, together with a strong understanding of health and safety, environmental compliance, risk management and commercial controls.
You should be confident leading teams, influencing at all levels and making sound decisions in a regulated and continually changing environment. Excellent communication, negotiation and analytical skills are essential, as is the ability to manage competing priorities while maintaining a clear focus on delivery.
The role may involve travel to project sites and occasional work outside standard office hours. A commitment to inclusive working, professional integrity and continuous improvement is expected.
