Job description

Job Description

CMDP is a joint venture between Costain and MWHT and delivers a range of schemes to maintain and improve Southern Water's water supply and wastewater treatment works in the eastern half its region (Kent & Sussex)

CMDP has recently had its contract to provide capital delivery services to Southern Water renewed for the next seven years. This coincides with Southern Water embarking on their most far-reaching and ambitious investment programme since privatisation in 1989.

Consequently, CMDP is expecting a significant increase in the number and size of projects it will deliver on behalf of Southern Water.

Key to success at both the framework and project level is effective risk management. This is the ideal time to review, refresh, upgrade and implement changes to the way CMDP manages risk. The Head of Risk will design, implement and maintain a risk management framework; one that is commensurate with an organisation of CMDP's size and turnover.
