Job description

Project Manager - Water Infrastructure
Guildford, Surrey | Contract | Up to £475 per day | Outside IR35 (Subject to Determination) | 12 Months+

The investment in water infrastructure across this part of Surrey is substantial, the programme is well managed, and the clients know what good delivery looks like. A leading Tier 1 contractor is looking for a Project Manager to join their team and help them maintain that standard.

The role

You will manage the full delivery lifecycle across a portfolio of water infrastructure projects, from pre-construction planning through to commissioning and handover. You will lead multidisciplinary site teams, coordinate a supply chain of subcontractors and specialists, administer NEC contracts, and maintain strong client relationships throughout.

The schemes you will oversee vary in type and scale, but all sit within a water and wastewater treatment and network infrastructure environment. You will need to be comfortable moving between strategic programme management and hands-on problem solving, because no two weeks will look the same.

Commercially, you will own your project budgets, manage change through the NEC process, and support the wider team in producing accurate forecasts and reports.

Who we are looking for

A Project Manager with demonstrable experience delivering civil engineering or water infrastructure projects at a similar level. You will need strong NEC contract knowledge, good commercial instincts, and the ability to lead a team under pressure. Water sector experience is a clear advantage. SMSTS, CSCS Black or Gold Card, and EUSR Water Hygiene are all required.

What is on offer

Up to £475 per day, outside IR35 subject to determination. An initial 12-month contract with real potential to extend. Guildford is one of the most accessible locations in the Southeast, with excellent transport links from London, Hampshire, and the wider Surrey area.

Ganymede is committed to creating a diverse workforce and is an equal opportunities employer. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of age, disability, gender, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation
