Engineering Project Manager

Senior Or Principal Project Manager

We are looking for a driven Senior or Principal Project Manager to play a pivotal role within our water engineering team. As a Senior or Principal Project Manager, you will work with and manage a multidisciplinary team of technical specialists, delivering projects in close partnership with clients and contractors, building strong relationships that will enhance the company's reputation and help secure further work.

In this role, you will lead the design of innovative and sustainable solutions to address leakage challenges, clean water provision and sewage disposal across our water utility client's assets, vital to meet the ever-growing societal demands of development, population growth and climate change. Some of these projects are emergency work and reactive in nature - so you will need to lead fast-paced design, whilst managing change and impacts on the other projects within the wider programme.

You will be expected to coordinate project teams throughout the project lifecycle from design definition through to implementation, fulfilling all aspects to successfully manage projects including business management system compliance, technical quality assurance, programme and cost control management as well as leading client interface.
