Contract Project Manager – Water (Non-Infrastructure)

Guildford | £475 per day | Long-Term Framework

A Tier One contractor is looking to appoint an experienced Project Manager to support increased workload across a major water framework in the South East.

You will take ownership of multiple non-infrastructure schemes delivered within live operational environments, typically involving treatment works, pumping stations, and MEICA-led asset upgrades. This is a delivery-focused role with real responsibility, not a support position, suited to someone comfortable managing projects from early planning through to completion.

The framework itself is well established, with a strong pipeline of secured work, making this a role with genuine longevity beyond the initial six-month term.

The Role

Full lifecycle project delivery across capital maintenance schemes

Management of programme, commercial performance, and risk

Coordination of design, procurement, and site teams

Driving health & safety and ensuring CDM compliance

Maintaining strong relationships with client and key stakeholders

Leading projects in live environments where planning and communication are critical

What We’re Looking For

Proven experience delivering projects within the UK water sector

Strong background in non-infrastructure works such as MEICA, refurbishments, or plant upgrades

Working knowledge of NEC contracts

Confident managing multiple schemes concurrently

A structured, solutions-focused approach to project delivery

The Details

Office and site presence across the Guildford region

£475 per day

Initial 6-month contract with strong likelihood of extension

Immediate need due to secured framework workload

This role will suit a Project Manager who values stability, autonomy, and the opportunity to deliver technically meaningful projects within a mature delivery team.
