Binnies’s Water Services team is growing, and we’re looking for experienced Project Managers of all levels to help deliver some of the UK’s most important water infrastructure programmes. This is your chance to play a defining role in shaping the next generation of water assets — from small infrastructure improvements to large-scale and nationally significant water resource schemes. We have a growing portfolio of projects with clients in the Midlands and North of England, including Anglian Water, Severn Trent Water and Yorkshire Water. We offer flexible working arrangements, including hybrid, office‑based or home‑working options, depending on your preference and project needs.

Our Work

Our teams deliver multidisciplinary engineering, environmental and programme-wide solutions across the UK water sector. This includes civil, process and MEICA engineering, environmental assessment, modelling and nature-based solutions.

You will work within a collaborative environment alongside technical specialists, commercial professionals and programme leaders delivering projects covering a wide variety of disciplines and size.

We aim to create a fair, inclusive recruitment process and encourage applications from individuals with varied experiences, backgrounds and ways of thinking.

The Opportunity

As a Project Manager, you will lead the successful delivery of engineering and consultancy projects from concept through to completion — managing scope, programme, cost, risk, quality and client outcomes.

Projects typically range from feasibility and optioneering studies through outline design phases, supporting clients in developing and delivering capital investment programmes.

We actively welcome applicants from consultancy or engineering environments delivering small to medium-sized or complex multidisciplinary projects. You will work as part of a team of project managers and will be well supported.

Typical tasks for our project managers include:

Lead project delivery across scope, schedule, cost, quality, risk and stakeholder management
Manage NEC PSC contracts
Build strong, trusted client relationships through regular communication, clear reporting, and collaborative problem-solving.
Identify, manage and mitigate technical, commercial and programme risks
Lead proposals, cost estimates and commercial reviews for new opportunities
Develop effective resource plans and delivery strategies
Ensure compliance with quality systems while driving continuous improvement
Coach, mentor and support the development of colleagues across project teams

About You

We’re looking for a confident, proactive project leader with strong consultancy experience and a collaborative mindset. You will bring:

Experience delivering engineering or consultancy projects (any scale)
A professional qualification in Project Management and/or an engineering discipline
Experience leading multidisciplinary teams and coordinating technical inputs
Strong commercial and contractual awareness within a consultancy environment
Proficiency with programme management tools such as MS Project
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
Ability to build trusted client relationships and identify opportunities for repeat and follow-on work

Experience within the UK water sector is highly desirable. Applicants from other regulated infrastructure sectors (energy, highways, rail or utilities) with strong consultancy project delivery experience will also be considered.

Why Join Binnies Water Services Team?

Competitive salary and benefits package
Flexible working arrangements, including hybrid working
Employer pension scheme
Private Medical Healthcare
Life Assurance and Group Income Protection
Structured professional development and career progression pathways
Opportunities to gain broad experience across multiple clients, disciplines and project size and complexity.
