🏗 Hybrid Working – East Midlands Construction Sites

This role is for a Civil Project Manager responsible for delivering projects within the water and wastewater sector, covering full project lifecycle from planning through to commissioning and handover. The position is based out of the Ilkeston office with travel to sites, working across live operational environments where minimising disruption to services is key.

The role focuses on managing civil infrastructure schemes (pipelines, pumping stations, treatment works, reservoirs), ensuring delivery is safe, compliant, on programme, and within budget. You will lead multidisciplinary teams, manage contractors and supply chain, and administer projects under NEC3/NEC4 contracts, including handling early warnings, compensation events, and change control. Strong stakeholder engagement is required across operations teams, regulators, landowners, and clients.

From a client perspective, this is a well-structured engineering organisation operating in the regulated water sector, with a strong focus on safety, compliance, and long-term asset performance. Projects are delivered in live environments, so there is a heavy emphasis on operational awareness, quality assurance, and risk management. The business promotes a collaborative and improvement-driven culture, with clear frameworks around engineering standards and delivery practices.

Key Requirements

  * Proven years of experience within the water industry

  * Strong civil engineering background (pipelines, treatment works, drainage, earthworks)

  * Proven NEC3/NEC4 contract administration experience

  * Experience managing programme, cost, risk, and delivery performance

  * Ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and manage supply chain

  * Strong stakeholder management across operational and regulatory environments
