  • Develop potential future work opportunities through relationships with clients, suppliers and members of the construction community.
  • We are looking for:

  • Multi-disciplinary experience in Infrastructure projects and ideally within Water infrastructure.
  • Excellent collaborative leadership skills across a variety of situations, including project delivery, work winning and business leadership.
  • Experience of building and leading large, diverse teams – inspiring the pursuit of excellence and delivering outperformance against defined success measures.
  • Demonstrable project management of complex projects in excess of £200m ideally within the water sector.
  • Experience of strategic thinking and contributing to the development and implementation of a strategy that delivers against a compelling vision or outcomes.

  • Experience of planning and statutory processes
  • Ability to research information and data and ability to resolve contractual issues.
  • Understand the balance between support and challenges for Project Managers and peers.
  • Extensive and successful experience of working and collaborating in a Joint Venture/Alliance environment.
