Job description

Job Description

We’re recruiting a Project Manager for a main contractor to support with closing out AMP7 and starting projects on AMP8. The projects will include design and build schemes up to £50m on existing and new build assets across the Southern Water network in Hampshire, West Sussex and Brighton. Despite being a large region, there is more than enough work in the pipeline to keep you on projects within commutable distance from home. The Project Manager will manage individual projects up to £25m or a portfolio of lower value schemes.

Key Duties:

1. Early contractor engagement with the client and internal design teams
2. Plan and lead workshops/event for internal and external stakeholders
3. Ensure the project is meeting overall quality and environmental specifications
4. Work with a Risk Manager to identify risks and opportunities
5. Line management of operational team, comprising of Agents, Foreman, Engineers, TWC etc.
6. Lead the commercial team to manage risk, profitability, cashflow as well as any change in the scope or programme
7. Overall responsibility to ensure CDM is applied in line with legislation

Experience in the water sector is favourable but not essential; however, we expect a Project Manager to have shown a clear route of progression through engineering roles and management before becoming a Project Manager. If you are a Site Agent or Senior Site Agent looking to make the step up, please apply.
