We are seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of complex water and wastewater projects from inception through to completion. This is an opportunity to manage high-value programmes involving clean water, wastewater treatment, pumping stations, pipelines, networks and associated infrastructure. You will take overall responsibility for project performance, ensuring that works are delivered safely, on time, within budget and to the required quality and environmental standards.

Your responsibilities will include developing and managing project programmes, budgets, risk registers and delivery strategies, while coordinating design, procurement, construction, commissioning and handover activities. You will lead multidisciplinary project teams and work closely with clients, consultants, contractors, regulators, local authorities and other stakeholders to establish clear objectives and maintain effective communication throughout the project lifecycle. You will monitor progress, manage change and contractual matters, resolve issues proactively, and provide accurate reporting on commercial, operational and delivery performance. A strong focus on health and safety, sustainability, quality assurance and compliance will be essential.

Applicants should have substantial experience managing major water or wastewater projects, ideally within a regulated utility, infrastructure, engineering or construction environment. A proven track record of delivering complex schemes, managing multiple stakeholders and leading teams is required, together with sound knowledge of construction processes, contract management, project controls and relevant industry standards. Experience with NEC contracts and formal project management methodologies would be advantageous. You will need excellent leadership, negotiation, organisation and communication skills, as well as the confidence to make informed decisions in a demanding delivery environment. A relevant degree or professional qualification in engineering, construction, project management or a related discipline is desirable. The role may involve travel to project and client sites, so flexibility and a full driving licence may be required.
