Job description

Project Manager - Water Infrastructure - Civil Engineering
Location: Hybrid role with travel to projects across Sussex, Hampshire, and Kent
Employment Type: Permanent

I'm working with a leading civil engineering contractor who are delivering a strong pipeline of clean and waste water infrastructure projects across the South East. They're now looking to appoint an experienced Project Manager to support delivery across a portfolio of schemes in Sussex, Hampshire, and Kent.

This is a hybrid role with flexibility around site attendance and office/home working. The company has a great reputation for investing in their people, and this role offers genuine long-term progression as part of a growing team in the water sector.

Key Requirements:

• Strong background in civil engineering and water infrastructure

• Proven experience managing NEC contracts (including Early Warnings and Compensation Events)

• Familiar with CDM regulations, risk and programme management, and cost control

• Comfortable using Primavera P6 (or similar planning tools)

• Degree or HNC in Civil Engineering (or equivalent)

• CSCS Manager's Card, SMSTS, and ideally NEBOSH Construction

• MEICA understanding or capabilities

• Strong leadership, communication and stakeholder management skills

• Able to work independently and challenge designs when needed

This role would suit someone currently operating as a Project Manager within water or utilities, looking for the opportunity to lead their own projects with greater autonomy and long-term career prospects.
