Reference: 973347247_1773046330

Our client seeking a high‑calibre Senior Design Project Manager to join their UK Water business, supporting major programmes across the Midlands. As part of a global engineering consultancy recognised for delivering sustainable and resilient water infrastructure, this leadership role is central to the successful delivery of complex, high‑value multi‑disciplinary water and wastewater projects across the region.

Your Role & Impact

Reporting to the Water Cost and Commercial Lead, you'll be at the heart of our commercial operations-guiding procurement, contract execution, and post-contract delivery across multi-workstream programmes. You'll collaborate with senior stakeholders, delivery teams, and supply chain partners to ensure financial transparency, compliance, and performance. Your leadership will help shape smarter, safer, and more resilient infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities:

Technical Leadership & Delivery Take full ownership of technical design delivery across wastewater non-infrastructure projects-from mobilisation through to completion-ensuring engineering excellence, regulatory compliance, commercial performance, and high levels of client satisfaction.

Multi‑Disciplinary Design Management Lead and coordinate multi‑disciplinary design teams (process, civil, mechanical, electrical, ICA, environmental) to deliver large‑scale treatment, network, and resilience schemes. Many projects will form part of major AMP programmes delivered in collaboration with Tier 1 delivery partners.

Client & Stakeholder Engagement Build and maintain strong working relationships with water company clients, delivery partners, and regulatory stakeholders. Provide proactive leadership to ensure project expectations, statutory requirements, and industry standards are consistently met or exceeded.

Integrated Delivery Across UK & Global Teams Drive UK‑based design teams to produce integrated, efficient, and innovative solutions. Foster a collaborative, digitally enabled, and commercially aware working environment that supports programme outcomes.

Governance & Assurance Support Work closely with Project Managers to ensure robust governance across scope, cost, schedule, risk, quality, and assurance. Support the development of design strategies, optioneering, technical reviews, and risk mitigation plans aligned with AMP and regulatory commitments.

Business Growth & Team Development Contribute to business growth by supporting client development, identifying new opportunities, and shaping future water sector programmes. Mentor emerging design managers and engineers, helping to build capability and strengthen the regional team.
