Site-Based Role – Yorkshire
We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to join our client to support the delivery of water and wastewater infrastructure schemes under a long-term regional utility framework in the North of England.
This role involves managing network-based projects from early definition and design coordination through to construction and handover.
Schemes will typically include pipeline renewals, network upgrades, and works delivered within live operational environments.
This is a delivery-focused, hands-on role suited to a Project Manager with strong experience in utility or civil infrastructure projects who is comfortable taking full ownership of programme, commercial performance, risk, and site safety.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead water and/or wastewater infrastructure projects from inception through construction
* Take accountability for programme, budget control, risk management, and change processes
* Coordinate internal teams, designers, contractors, and specialist suppliers
* Oversee site operations and ensure safe, efficient project delivery
* Drive compliance with health, safety, environmental, and quality standards
* Maintain accurate reporting including progress tracking, forecasting, and risk registers
* Manage commercial performance including variations and cost control
* Proactively resolve technical, operational, and delivery challenges
* Ensure adherence to framework governance and industry regulations
About You
* Demonstrable experience delivering water, utilities, or civil engineering infrastructure projects
* Background in network-based works (pipelines, mains, or buried infrastructure desirable)
* Experience operating within regulated utility or framework environments
* Strong understanding of construction methodologies and live site operations
* Proven track record managing health & safety on complex infrastructure projects
* Commercial awareness with experience managing costs and change
* Familiarity with NEC forms of contract advantageous
* Self-motivated, delivery-driven, and comfortable working across both site and office environments
Why Apply?
* Long-term framework with consistent project pipeline
* High-value regional infrastructure schemes
* Freelance engagement offering autonomy and responsibility
* Collaborative, delivery-focused team environment
* Role centred on project execution rather than business development
