Job description

AEPartners are working with a fully integrated design and build business combining the design expertise with the contracting experience to deliver award winning projects.

They have successfully extended their contract with Thames Water for an additional five years. As the largest water and wastewater provider in the UK, Thames Water serves 15 million customers throughout London and the Thames Valley. This extension will carry the current agreement through to the end of AMP8 in March 2030. Our client is delivering work on three frameworks in the region, which sees us undertake a varied programme of water and wastewater non-infrastructure and infrastructure projects to improve the network.

The Civil Project Leader role combines elements of both traditional Project Management and Design Engineering, managing projects through the outline and detailed design lifecycle, supported by our multi-disciplinary teams.

• Have the flexibility of working from home, office and site?
• Have the opportunity to see your designs brought to life?

What does a Civil Project Leader do day to day?

• Working as part of a “project triangle” alongside a Site Manager and Quantity Surveyor to ensure that technical, constructability and commercial aspects of project delivery are considered throughout.
• Leading the design of treatment or infrastructure projects from the initial outline to detailed design, through construction, commissioning, and handover
• Coordinating the project team including civil, electrical, mechanical and process designers, BIM modelers and technical specialists and ensure designs are completed on programme, within budget, and to the quality defined by each framework and industry specifications
• Undertake design in own discipline and mentor less experienced colleagues where appropriate
• Building positive relationships with the clients’ project, operational and technical assurance teams and promote a "one-team" approach

What you’ll need:

• Accredited Degree in Civil Engineering.
