Principal Project Manager – Hydraulic Modeling

We are seeking an experienced Principal Project Manager to lead the delivery of complex hydraulic modelling projects across water, wastewater, flood risk and drainage programmes. This is a senior role for a technically credible and commercially aware professional who can manage multidisciplinary teams, build trusted client relationships and deliver high-quality outcomes to time and budget.

You will oversee projects from inception through to completion, setting clear objectives, managing resources and ensuring that technical solutions meet regulatory, operational and environmental requirements. The role will involve working closely with engineers, modellers, planners, asset managers and external stakeholders to develop robust modelling strategies and support evidence-based investment decisions.

Key responsibilities

  • Lead the planning, mobilisation and delivery of hydraulic modelling projects and wider water-sector programmes.
  • Manage project scope, budgets, programmes, risks, quality assurance and change control.
  • Provide technical direction and peer review for hydraulic models, analysis, reporting and option appraisals.
  • Coordinate multidisciplinary teams and support the development of junior project managers and technical specialists.
  • Maintain effective communication with clients, regulators, delivery partners and other stakeholders.
  • Identify opportunities to improve project methodologies, digital workflows and modelling standards.
  • Contribute to business development, proposals, fee estimates and client presentations.

About you

You will have substantial experience delivering hydraulic modelling or water infrastructure projects, together with a proven track record of managing complex programmes and high-performing teams. You should be confident interpreting technical information, challenging assumptions constructively and translating modelling outputs into clear recommendations for both technical and non-technical audiences.

Experience with industry-standard hydraulic modelling software, data management and GIS applications is essential. A relevant degree or professional qualification in civil engineering, water engineering, environmental engineering or a related discipline is required. Chartered status, or a clear commitment towards professional accreditation, would be advantageous.

Excellent communication, commercial awareness, leadership and problem-solving skills are essential. The role may involve travel to client offices and project locations, with flexible and hybrid working options available.
