  • Oversee contract administration and commercial management, including NEC3/4 compliance.
  • Develop and maintain project management plans, dashboards, and reporting systems.
  • Engage with senior stakeholders across utilities, contractors, and internal teams to maintain strong relationships.
  • Ensure governance, health & safety, and regulatory compliance throughout project lifecycle.

  • Commercial Awareness: Strong understanding of contract management (NEC3/4), cost control, and risk management.
  • Sector Knowledge: Experience in the water industry or regulated utilities, with awareness of governance requirements and sector-specific delivery models.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Excellent communication and influencing skills, with experience managing senior client relationships.
  • Tools: Proficiency in Microsoft Office and project management platforms (e.g. MS Project, Primavera P6), with familiarity in reporting tools such as Power BI and document control systems like SharePoint.

Additional experience that would be beneficial includes:

  • Consultancy-side project management experience.
  • Previous involvement in Environment Agency or major water utility projects.
  • Experience in design management and integrated delivery models.

Qualifications:

  • Degree in Engineering, Environmental Science, Project Management, or related field.
  • Professional qualifications such as APM PMQ, PRINCE2 Practitioner, or equivalent.
  • Chartered Status (e.g. ChPP, CEng, MRICS) preferred.
