Job description

Overview:

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Project Manager to join a growing infrastructure delivery team, managing a range of projects across major operational sites within the water sector. The initial projects will involve perimeter fencing, minor civils and associated infrastructure works, with further opportunities across wider infrastructure and security-related projects supporting critical water and wastewater assets.

The role would suit a Project Manager from a civil engineering, M&E, EC&I, minor civils, security or related infrastructure background. Previous security experience would be advantageous but is not essential, as the specialist elements of the work can be learned quickly. This is an excellent opportunity to take ownership of projects from mobilisation through to completion, managing programme, commercial performance, client relationships and delivery standards in an essential sector.

Key Responsibilities:

• Plan, organise and mobilise projects from award through to successful completion.
• Take ownership of project budgets, forecasts, margin and overall financial performance.
• Support monthly commercial and financial reviews, ensuring accurate reporting and cost control.
• Manage project programmes, monitor progress and ensure works remain on track.
• Coordinate design information and liaise with designers, engineers and supply chain partners.
• Manage the delivery of perimeter fencing, minor civils and associated infrastructure works.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants and supply chain partners.
• Coordinate site teams, labour, materials and resources to ensure efficient project delivery.
• Monitor site progress and proactively resolve technical, commercial and operational issues.
• Ensure projects are delivered in accordance with CDM, health and safety, quality and environmental requirements.
• Support project mobilisation and maintain effective communication across site, commercial and design teams.
• Promote a collaborative, customer-focused approach throughout project delivery.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Proven experience as a Project Manager or Senior Project Manager within civil engineering, M&E, EC&I, security, infrastructure, minor civils or a closely related sector.
• Experience delivering projects within live, operational or regulated environments would be advantageous.
• Experience of perimeter fencing, security infrastructure or associated works would be beneficial but is not essential.
• EC&I experience or a background in electrical infrastructure would be particularly relevant.
• Strong understanding of project delivery, commercial management, programme control and client management.
• HNC, HND, ONC, BEng or equivalent vocational experience.
• SMSTS, CSCS and relevant health and safety qualifications would be advantageous.
• Strong leadership, communication, organisation and stakeholder management skills.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary and the opportunity to work on varied infrastructure and specialist projects.
• Generous holiday entitlement, increasing with service, plus the option to buy additional days.
• Comprehensive pension plan and private medical scheme options for salaried employees.
• Cycle to Work scheme, corporate discounts and a Save As You Earn share purchase scheme.
• Access to wellbeing support, employee assistance and structured training and development pathways.
