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.

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
