The successful Senior Project Manager will have a strong background with Tier 1 contractors, with experience in civil engineering and MEICA elements.

What’s in it for you?

This role offers the chance to play a key part in delivering high-profile, long-term infrastructure projects. You’ll be working with a progressive delivery team on a major UK water framework, taking ownership of multiple sites and mentoring other project managers. The position offers an excellent day rate (outside IR35).

Responsibilities

You will take overall responsibility for several live wastewater infrastructure schemes, coordinating site teams, subcontractors, and client interactions. You will drive a collaborative and proactive culture, ensuring buildability, compliance, and high standards are achieved across safety, programme, and quality. You’ll play an active role in planning and design engagement. You will also be expected to take ownership of quality control, promote right-first-time delivery, and resolve site issues efficiently.

Requirements

You must have extensive experience delivering wastewater infrastructure projects and ideally have worked on large UK water frameworks. A background with Tier 1 contractors is essential, along with a strong understanding of both civil and MEICA integration. You must hold a valid CSCS card and a Thames Water Passport is highly desirable but not essential. Strong leadership, communication, and planning skills are critical to success in this role.
