EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

The Senior Project Manager role is responsible for management of water treatment projects to achieve delivery of design within time, cost, and quality, as well as supporting other programmes and efficiency drivers within the team.
Throughout the projects you will be meeting regularly with the design consultants, the project teams, and other stakeholders to ensure the design is completed within programme and cost while meeting our standards.
You will be responsible for managing multiple projects through feasibility, outline and detail design. You will help us to generate the best overall solutions to the challenges of tomorrow’s environmental needs and consumer expectations.

You will have a strong background working with standards and codes of practice, with experience of providing design information and specifications for commercial negotiations.
You will have a strong ability to build successful working relationships with internal and external stakeholders from a diverse range of backgrounds, and hold a relentless drive for continuous improvement, with the ability to innovate and anticipate unexpected issues and challenges as they arise.
To do this role you will have a robust understanding of CDM regulations.
You will deliver projects to programme, within budget, to the correct quality standards.
You will be able to make educated judgments and decisions in the face of ambiguity, and have a good grasp of the bigger picture, seeking opportunities to contribute to the wider agenda. Be part of developing the future design team!
