Contract Project Manager | Water Industry
UK Wide | Hybrid | Competitive Day Rate | Long-Term AMP8 Opportunities
Are you a Project Manager with solid experience working within the UK water sector?
With AMP8 approaching and water companies and their supply chains preparing for a significant increase in project activity, we're speaking with experienced Project Managers who are looking for their next long-term contract opportunity.
We're currently speaking with a number of clients across the water supply chain who are starting to plan their recruitment requirements and build their project delivery teams ahead of the AMP8 investment programme.
We're particularly interested in Project Managers who have experience working for Tier 2 contractors, specialist suppliers, manufacturers or engineering businesses supporting the UK water industry.
You'll be responsible for:
* Managing the successful delivery of projects from contract award through to completion.
* Coordinating internal teams, subcontractors, suppliers and client stakeholders.
* Managing project programmes, budgets, risks and commercial performance.
* Ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and in line with contractual and client requirements.
* Working closely with engineering, design, procurement and operational teams throughout the project lifecycle.
* Providing clear project reporting and maintaining strong relationships with customers and key stakeholders.
This is an excellent opportunity to get ahead of the AMP8 recruitment market and secure long-term contract work with businesses that are preparing for increased workload across the water sector.
We're looking for Project Managers with:
* Solid experience delivering projects within the UK water sector.
* Experience working for a Tier 2 contractor, specialist supplier, manufacturer or engineering business within the water supply chain.
* A strong understanding of project delivery, programme management and commercial performance.
* Experience managing multiple stakeholders, suppliers and subcontractors.
* The ability to take ownership of projects and deliver effectively within demanding timescales.
* A relevant engineering, construction or project management qualification would be advantageous.
What's on offer?
* Competitive day rates depending on experience and project requirements.
* Long-term contract opportunities linked to the AMP8 investment programme.
* Opportunities with established businesses operating across the UK water supply chain.
* The chance to secure work with clients who are beginning to ramp up their recruitment activity ahead of AMP8.
* Potential for ongoing project work as AMP8 activity increases.
* Hybrid and site-based opportunities available depending on the project.
If you're an experienced Project Manager currently working within the water sector, or your current assignment is coming to an end, we'd like to hear from you.
Apply today or get in touch with Rob at Ganymede for a confidential discussion about the current market, upcoming AMP8 requirements and the project opportunities we're expecting to see across the water supply chain.
