Job description

We are looking to strengthen our Construction team with a Construction Manager based at our Anglian Water Region.

You will report directly to the Operations Director, and your role will involve working within Water and Water Recycling Non-Infrastructure to manage Health, Safety, Environmental, and Sustainability aspects, with responsibility for CDM compliance for all delivered construction work. While primarily focused on managing construction delivery, you will adopt a wider pan-Alliance perspective, demonstrating appropriate alliancing behaviors and leadership skills within integrated teams.

As a Construction Manager, you will be responsible for leading construction delivery across major infrastructure schemes. Your duties include ensuring buildability from the outset, optimizing delivery through planning and innovation, and managing teams to deliver high-quality outcomes safely and efficiently.

  1. Lead construction activities across large-scale projects, ensuring alignment with programme strategy and delivery milestones.
  2. Drive safe, efficient, and high-quality construction methods, including offsite and industrialized techniques.
  3. Collaborate with design, procurement, and delivery teams to ensure constructability and reduce on-site time.
  4. Develop construction phase plans, manage on-site risks, and oversee health, safety, quality, and environmental compliance.
  5. Monitor construction performance, costs, and commercial progress, working with planners and cost managers to forecast and report.
  6. Facilitate project rehearsals and activity planning to optimize sequencing and identify constraints early.
  7. Support commissioning and seamless asset handover to Anglian Water Operations.
  8. Lead, develop, and manage construction teams, ensuring performance aligns with project goals and alliance behaviors.
  9. Champion innovation and continuous improvement by incorporating new construction techniques and standardized approaches where appropriate.

About You

You'll be an experienced and confident construction professional capable of leading multidisciplinary teams and managing complex infrastructure projects from planning to handover. You will bring:

  • Proven experience in delivering large-scale construction projects (£20m+), ideally in the water or utilities sectors.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to manage stakeholders and drive performance.
  • Deep understanding of construction methods, buildability, and delivery assurance.
  • Knowledge of health, safety, and environmental standards, with a commitment to safe site practices.
  • Commercial awareness, including cost management, risk mitigation, and change control processes.
  • Experience with digital project tools and planning systems.
