Senior Manager, Project Management

Are you ready to take on a pivotal role in delivering impactful projects for our Waste Networks team within Chief Engineer?
We’re looking for a skilled and motivated Project Manager to join us in driving our risk validation processes and enhancing our asset understanding. Whether you’re just starting out in project management or you’re an experienced professional, this is your opportunity to make a tangible difference in our WINEP and flooding programs.
This is your chance to work on meaningful projects that deliver real results for our customers and communities. Whether you’re an aspiring project manager or a seasoned professional, you’ll find opportunities to grow, lead, and make a difference.
As a Project Manager, some of your responsibilities will include:
Overseeing the delivery of programs to identify the necessary asset investments for our WINEP and flooding initiatives.
Sourcing Consultant and Contractor support as required and maintaining an overview of the Waste Networks capital investment program.
Liaising with CCTV contractors to project manage our critical sewer CCTV projects, including agreeing work packages to deliver InfoAsset outputs in line with the business requirements.
Adhering to and documenting CDM roles and responsibilities accurately throughout the project lifecycle, where applicable.
Your contributions will play a vital role in ensuring the success of our projects. You will be responsible for achieving deliverables on time, within budget, and to agreed quality standards. Working with Tactical Asset Planning colleagues, you will provide support, where relevant with business cases for governance board approval and manage smooth handovers to the Capital Delivery team, including post-project reviews.
Your role also includes managing financial forecasts and budgets while identifying and mitigating risks and opportunities to ensure the successful delivery of programs.
You’ll have strong engineering experience within the wastewater sector and a solid understanding of sewer networks. You’ll ideally have a working knowledge of InfoAsset Manager (formerly InfoNet), although strong experience with other GIS packages may also be considered.
You’ll bring solid project management experience, ideally within infrastructure or utilities. You’ll be comfortable working with contractors, coordinating teams, and ensuring outputs meet the required standards.
You’ll be creative and strategic, able to adapt to changing priorities and conflicting demands. Experience with project management tools like MS Project is helpful, and a full UK driving licence is essential.
If you care about doing a great job and want to help shape the future of our wastewater infrastructure, we’d love to hear from you.
We have a range of benefits that recognise great work, and award-winning training to help you reach your potential. And we’ll also help you play your part in looking after the environment and the communities where we live.
