We’re looking for a driven and confident Contracts Manager to lead the planning, delivery and coordination of rising main installations and wider wastewater infrastructure projects for Thames Water. This is a role where you’ll take ownership from day one developing project plans, building strong client relationships, managing subcontractors, and guiding your teams to deliver high-quality, safe and efficient outcomes.
You’ll ensure each project is carefully scoped, properly resourced, and delivered to agreed timelines, budgets and quality standards. Working closely with clients, designers and supply chain partners, you’ll help shape the technical specification of deliverables and drive best-practice approaches throughout the programme. A key part of your success will be your ability to inspire confidence, communicate clearly, and help expand our workstream through consistently excellent service and project performance.
