Location: Southend
Salary: Up to £100k + Benefits
Type: Permanent
Start: Immediate

Renowned for their technical expertise and commitment to excellence, they operate across a diverse range of sectors, including flood defence, highways, rail, nuclear defence, and bridge construction.
With a strong portfolio of innovative infrastructure solutions, their capabilities span groundworks, drainage, reinforced concrete structures, structural piling, and utility works. From safeguarding communities with critical flood defences to driving connectivity with advanced transport projects, this client consistently delivers complex engineering projects that shape the future while exceeding client expectations.
Their reputation as a trusted partner is built on a foundation of quality, safety, and sustainability, making them an employer of choice for talented professionals in the civil engineering industry.
The Role
We’re looking for a Project Manager to take charge of a major flood defence scheme based in Southend. This is a pivotal role where you’ll manage the planning, coordination, and execution of all site activities, ensuring compliance with safety standards, quality benchmarks, and project deadlines.
Reporting to a visiting Contracts Manager and working closely with a Senior Quantity Surveyor, you’ll provide leadership to site teams, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to exacting specifications. If you have a solid understanding of civil engineering processes and the ability to lead diverse teams, this is the perfect role to make an impact.
Key Responsibilities
* Project Planning and Delivery: Develop and manage project programmes, ensuring all phases are executed efficiently and within agreed timeframes.
* Site Leadership: Take ownership of site operations, managing teams and subcontractors to ensure optimal productivity and adherence to project specifications.
* Health and Safety Compliance: Champion site safety, ensuring all activities meet legal requirements and company health and safety protocols.
* Budget and Cost Control: Work closely with the Senior Quantity Surveyor to manage budgets, control costs, and produce accurate financial reports.
* Quality Assurance: Conduct site inspections and ensure that all work meets project specifications and industry standards.
* Stakeholder Engagement: Act as the primary site contact, maintaining open communication with clients, the Contracts Manager, and other stakeholders.
* Risk and Issue Management: Identify potential risks and implement effective mitigation strategies to prevent project delays or cost overruns.
* Resource Management: Oversee the allocation and management of labour, equipment, and materials, ensuring resource efficiency.
* Programme Adjustments: Monitor progress and adjust project schedules as required to meet deadlines.
* Problem-Solving: Address challenges on-site proactively, implementing practical solutions to maintain project momentum.
About You
To excel in this role, you’ll need:
* Proven Experience: Strong background in managing civil engineering or infrastructure projects, particularly those involving groundwork, drainage, reinforced concrete, piling, and utilities.
* Flood Defence Expertise: Prior experience working on flood defence or water management projects is advantageous but not essential.
* Leadership Skills: Demonstrated ability to lead and motivate teams, ensuring seamless on-site operations.
* Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of construction methodologies, safety regulations, and quality standards in the civil engineering sector.
* Communication Skills: Clear and professional communicator, capable of managing stakeholder relationships effectively.
* Adaptability: A proactive, adaptable individual who thrives in a fast-paced, challenging environment.
This role offers an exceptional opportunity for a skilled Project Manager to take the lead on a critical flood defence project with a forward-thinking and reputable employer. If you’re ready to make an impact, we’d love to hear from you
