Project Leader

• Lead the design of water and wastewater infrastructure and non-infrastructure projects through the outline and detailed design, construction, commissioning, and handover
• Coordinate the project team including Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and Process designers and ensure designs are completed on programme, within budget, and to the quality defined by each framework and industry specifications
• Work as part of a “Project triangle” alongside a Site Manager and Quantity Surveyor to ensure that technical, constructability and commercial aspects of project delivery are considered throughout.
• Build positive relationships with the client project, operational and technical assurance teams and promote a "one-team" approach.
• Support and mentor less experienced members of the team.
• Visit sites across your frameworks region as required to develop the design and support the construction delivery of your projects (costs incurred are recoverable).

What you can offer?

• ICE-accredited degree in Civil Engineering.
• Chartered or Incorporated member of the ICE or demonstratable progress made in attaining the ICE attributes.
• Outline and detailed design experience of water or wastewater projects.
• Knowledge of the Designer or Principal Designer duties under CDM 2015

What we will give you:

• An agile working arrangement that provides you flexibility whilst ensuring effective project delivery
• Opportunities to develop your practical application of civil engineering, commercial acumen, management skills and health, safety, and sustainability leadership
• A secure multi-million pound and multi-year programme of work
• The opportunity to fast track your way towards chartership

We understand not everyone will meet all the requirements, so if you are excited about the role please get in touch anyway; potential and transferrable skills can be just as important
