Help Build a Resilient Water Future Through Leadership, Quality and Collaboration
Join the @one Alliance – a collaborative partnership of eight industry-leading companies (Anglian Water, Balfour Beatty, Barhale, Binnies, MMB, MWH Treatment, Skanska, and SWECO) delivering over half of Anglian Water’s capital investment programme. As we move into AMP8, we’re gearing up to deliver an ambitious pipeline of infrastructure projects that support sustainable growth, environmental protection and long-term resilience for communities across the East of England. We are now looking for a Site Manager to join our delivery team – someone with a proactive mindset and a passion for quality and safety in construction delivery.
Your Purpose
As a Site Manager, you will lead site-based delivery activities on complex infrastructure projects, ensuring construction works are delivered safely, efficiently, and to a high standard. Working closely with the Construction Manager, you will coordinate subcontractors, manage resources, and oversee day-to-day operations to meet project milestones.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Manage and coordinate site activities in line with the construction programme, including subcontractor performance, resources, and materials.
- Lead by example in ensuring all safety, quality, and environmental management systems are adhered to and embedded on site.
- Support project handover and ensure all works are completed to a safe-to-operate (STO) standard at DM4.
- Maintain site compliance with assurance requirements (CSIR, CEIR, CQIR), working alongside the Delivery Assurance Manager.
- Monitor and manage budgets in coordination with the Cost Manager; approve site expenditure, timesheets, and GRNs in line with governance.
- Review and approve subcontractor RAMS, manage site requisitions, and ensure plant and materials are utilised efficiently.
- Take ownership of the rework list, ensuring timely resolution and submission for construction assurance.
- Collaborate with the Project Delivery Team to support programme, cost and quality reporting, and risk management.
- Support change management processes and accurate use of CCMS for cost control and purchasing.
- Liaise with Anglian Water operations staff to ensure seamless asset transition and operational readiness.
- Lead and motivate the site team, promoting a culture of accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement.
