Project Delivery Practice

PDP supports the delivery of infrastructure programmes that help safeguard national capability and resilience. Working in secure and highly regulated environments, we manage complex requirements while balancing risk, performance and operational needs.

These projects will offer you myriad opportunities to develop specialist expertise, obtain security clearance and work on programmes where robust project management and stakeholder engagement are critical to success. The variety of projects and facilities involved provides diverse career experiences while contributing to the infrastructure that underpins essential public services.

Work in the water sector is a privileged and critical role - where you'll be contributing directly to the improvement of the UK's water and wastewater infrastructure, including some of the the first new reservoirs to be built in a generation. Our portfolio encompasses sites across the country, working in partnership with Welsh Water, Severn Trent Water, Anglian Water, South East Water, Wessex Water, Yorkshire Water and the Environment Agency.

Water combines engineering innovation, sustainability and long-term asset management. Our teams help to deliver upgrades to treatment facilities, pipelines, pumping stations and resilience programmes - directly benefitting local communities and the environment. Within PDP, you'll gain experience in collaborative framework environments, supporting project delivery from early planning through construction and commissioning. These programmes often involve large portfolios of projects, so you can look forward to developing your skills in programme management, commercial delivery and stakeholder engagement.

Large‑scale energy programmes present unique challenges in planning, governance, risk management and delivery assurance.

You'll support clients and delivery teams across significant infrastructure developments including Sizewell C and the Skye Reinforcement Project in Scotland - helping manage complexity, stakeholder expectations and long‑term programme objectives.

Working alongside specialists from a wide range of disciplines will offer you exceptional learning and development opportunities as you develop expertise in programme control and governance, gaining experience on nationally significant infrastructure that will benefit and enrich the lives of future generations. 

Not every impactful project is a megaproject. And your career could flourish across the widest variety of smaller projects. 

PDP works with clients through long‑term frameworks that deliver hundreds of projects over many years, including the Heathrow, Gatwick and SEW Frameworks.

You'll build effective client relationships, improve delivery processes and apply the lessons learned continuously across a broad portfolio of work. Your career will flourish as you gain experience in programme governance, resource planning, commercial management and continuous improvement while helping our clients achieve their long‑term strategic objectives.

Alongside the delivery of physical infrastructure projects, PDP is playing a key role in transforming how projects are planned, managed and executed. Teams are developing and implementing AI‑enabled tools, data‑driven dashboards, digital delivery approaches and standardised project management frameworks that improve efficiency and decision‑making.

These initiatives provide opportunities to shape the future of project delivery, experiment with emerging technologies and contribute to practice‑wide transformation programmes. If you're keen to join a team driven by innovation, continuous improvement and the application of digital solutions to complex delivery challenges, you'll fit right in here.
