Job Description

A leading regional civil engineering contractor is seeking an experienced Project Manager to deliver a portfolio of Capital Works projects in South Wales.

The business is appointed to a stable, recurring 5-year AMP framework and is at the start of the AMP8 cycle, offering a rare opportunity to secure a long-term contract on technically interesting and high-value infrastructure schemes.

Due to workload across multiple programmes, multiple Project Manager roles are available, providing excellent continuity of work within a growing contractor environment.

This is a freelance position with an immediate start, with the option to transition into a permanent role after 3–6 months if desired.

Project Scope

You will manage a diverse portfolio of major water and infrastructure capital works, including:

  * Sewage treatment works upgrades and refurbishments

  * Large reinforced concrete structures and process assets

  * Shaft sinking and deep excavations

  * Reservoirs, dams, and storage infrastructure

  * Large-diameter pipeline installations and extensions

  * Associated civils, earthworks, and infrastructure packages

  * Typical project values range from £5m to £50m+, with a long-term programme of secured works extending through AMP8 and beyond.

Key Responsibilities

  * Manage the delivery of capital works projects from planning through to handover

  * Lead site teams, subcontractors, and supply chain partners

  * Ensure projects are delivered safely, on programme, and within budget

  * Manage commercial performance, risk, and change control

  * Interface with design teams, site engineers, and senior stakeholders

  * Oversee QA, documentation, and technical compliance

  * Drive programme, performance, and team development across multiple schemes

About You

  * Proven experience as a Project Manager in water, infrastructure, heavy civils, M+E or structures

  * Track record delivering RC structures, pipelines, treatment works, or major civils packages

  * Strong leadership and commercial awareness

  * Comfortable managing multi-disciplinary teams in a contractor-led environment

  * Proactive, organised, and motivated by long-term framework delivery rather than one-off projects

Why This Role?

  * Excellent freelance rate: £420–£480 per day (CIS)

  * Immediate start available

  * Multiple roles available due to AMP8 workload

  * Long-term workload secured on a 5-year AMP framework with visibility into the 2030s

  * Opportunity to deliver major, technically complex capital schemes (£5m–£50m+)

  * Genuine progression opportunities as the AMP8 programme expands

  * Clear pathway to a permanent role after 3–6 months if desired

  * Join a forward-thinking regional contractor with ambitious growth plans in the water sector
