We are looking to appoint an experienced Senior Project Manager to join our Infrastructure team, leading the delivery of one of our flagship AMP8 projects for Thames Water.
This is an exciting opportunity to lead the construction of a new £30m wastewater treatment works at Kingston Bagpuize, playing a key role in our growing AMP8 programme across the Thames Valley. Reporting to the Regional Operations Director, you will provide strategic leadership to a multidisciplinary project team, ensuring safe, efficient and successful project delivery from construction through to commissioning and handover.
Whilst water sector experience is welcomed, it is not essential. We encourage applications from experienced Senior Project Managers with a background in major infrastructure or civil engineering projects and will support your development within the water sector.
Key Duties
- Lead and inspire a multidisciplinary project team, driving excellence in safety, quality, programme performance and client satisfaction throughout project delivery.
- Take full responsibility for the successful delivery of a major infrastructure project, ensuring it is completed safely, on time, within budget and to the highest quality standards.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, supply chain partners and stakeholders, providing clear leadership and effective communication at all levels.
- Manage commercial performance, project risk and programme delivery, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, innovation and sustainable outcomes.
- Champion continuous improvement, digital construction tools and modern methods of construction, whilst developing and mentoring high-performing project teams.
