Are you ready to shape the future of water infrastructure?

We're looking for a Senior Project Manager to join our growing Water Solutions team in Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter, or Plymouth. In this role, you'll play a key part in delivering South West Water's and Wessex Water's £8 billion capital programmes. These projects span from small rural sites to multi-million-pound schemes and cover both water and wastewater (Infrastructure and Non-Infrastructure). The frameworks are long-term, extending through AMP8 and AMP9.

You'll contribute to two major frameworks as part of this investment:

• South West Water: Framework for Engineering Consultancy Services - Lot 3 - Multi-Discipline Engineering Design.

As part of a growing multi-disciplinary team with a long-standing presence in the region, you'll be joining a group recognised for excellence, having won the IChemE Global Water Award 2023. You'll have opportunities to develop your technical career not only through involvement in local projects but also by contributing to flagship initiatives across the UK&I and globally.

With flexible working from our South West & Wales locations, you'll collaborate across multi-disciplinary teams to deliver innovative and sustainable solutions. As part of AECOM, you'll engage in impactful projects from inception through to delivery, enhancing the environment and supporting communities.

Responsibilities:

• Lead and deliver projects, ensuring they meet budget and schedule targets.
• Manage contracts, including NEC forms, and oversee scope, budget, and timelines.
• Handle change management, including documenting warnings, preparing variations, and negotiating changes.
• Develop project timelines, identifying risks, dependencies, and resources.
• Ensure quality management processes are followed across all activities.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and manage stakeholder engagement.
• Oversee subcontractor and supply chain performance to meet project needs.
• Lead bid management for design tenders and framework contracts.

If you're passionate about innovation and turning bold ideas into reality, AECOM welcomes you. Join our team, where we don't just construct infrastructure but also uplift communities and enhance lives.

Here's what we're looking for:

• Experience in delivering water and wastewater/ treatment projects.
• Have commercial, risk management and contractual skills and experience, e.g. NEC4.
• A degree or equivalent in a related engineering subject, and/or equivalent experience.
• Chartered Engineer Status (or working towards).

We celebrate diversity, including neurodiversity, and believe it enriches our team. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and abilities. If you are an applicant with a disability that requires reasonable accommodation to complete the application process, please contact us at [e-mail].
