Our Infrastructure Project Delivery Practice is looking for Project Managers to support the delivery of capital investment programmes for major UK water companies, including opportunities across South East Water and Anglian Water programmes.

You will work within integrated client and multidisciplinary teams to manage projects across the full delivery lifecycle, from feasibility and design through construction, commissioning and handover. Projects may include water and wastewater treatment, networks, pipelines, pumping stations, storage, resilience and environmental improvement schemes.

  • Coordinate multidisciplinary teams, including engineering, environmental, commercial, planning, digital and construction specialists.
  • Administer NEC3 or NEC4 contracts, including early warnings, compensation events, programme acceptance and contractual communications.
  • Maintain effective governance, reporting and assurance in line with client and AtkinsRealis requirements.
  • Monitor performance against programme, budget, quality, regulatory commitments and agreed KPIs.
  • Build productive relationships with water company clients, delivery partners, contractors, regulators and other stakeholders.
  • Plan work around operational assets, access constraints, outages, commissioning and handover requirements.
  • Promote health, safety, environmental protection and wellbeing throughout project delivery.
  • Identify delivery risks early and lead proportionate mitigation and recovery actions.
  • Support continuous improvement, lessons learned and the effective use of digital tools and data.
  • Coach and support junior members of the project team.
  • Regular travel to client offices and operational sites across the South East and East of England will be required.
  • Some South East Water assignments may require attendance at the client office in Snodland for two to three days each week.
