Descrizione del lavoro

We’re working with a fast-growing, privately owned civil engineering contractor that has evolved from a small family business into a major name in Scottish infrastructure — while keeping a genuine people-first culture at its core.

They’re now looking for a high-performing Project Manager to lead the delivery of critical water infrastructure projects across Scotland.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll take ownership of complex civil engineering schemes from start to finish. You’ll be trusted to drive delivery across programme, commercial performance, and site execution — working closely with site teams, clients, and supply chain partners.

Projects are within live operational environments, so confidence, communication, and calm decision-making are key.

What you’ll bring

• Proven Project Management experience in civil engineering
• Strong background working with Scottish Water or within its delivery frameworks
• Natural leadership ability with strong commercial awareness and stakeholder management
• Bonus points if you’ve worked on reservoirs or water-retaining structures.

Why this role stands out

This isn’t just another contractor role — it’s a business that has scaled successfully without losing its identity.

Hybrid working – split between site, office, and remote flexibility depending on project demands

They genuinely focus on:

• Putting people first and supporting wellbeing
• Investing in communities and future talent through outreach and engagement
• Driving sustainability and reducing environmental impact in everything they deliver
• Building long-term relationships, not transactional project wins
• You’ll have autonomy, trust, and visibility — with the backing of a stable, growing business that continues to win and deliver major work.
