As we move into this exciting and challenging period for the Water industry, it is essential our commercial and cost management processes and practices remain industry-leading to ensure we not only deliver but outperform against our objectives and customer expectations. It is vital we constantly oversee our performance and ways of working to ensure we are delivering the best service to our customers.
To do that we need aspiring driven talent to help us achieve our ambitious targets. Project Delivery Managers are key to our success, and we need several in our Place Based Thinking (large projects £20-£40 million) team. Are you ready to join us as we prepare to deliver the most creative and innovative AMP we have ever seen?
What will you be doing as our new Project Delivery Manager?
As our new Project Delivery Manager, you’ll manage a team and oversee the development of solutions to ensure multiple large projects are completed on time, to quality, water, and safety standards whilst in line with legislation, Alliance governance, and processes. You’ll be responsible for large projects throughout their lifecycles ensuring the team handles operational needs and conflicts appropriately to arrive at ‘win-win’ situations for all concerned.
Key responsibilities:
1. Assure CDM compliance of each scheme through the TOTEX Delivery Process and through a series of audits, checks, and peer reviews to champion a ‘Zero-Harm’ culture.
2. Create and maintain a high performing team culture with a range of reports from Engineers to Commercial staff to feel empowered and think creatively to resolve issues.
3. Translate Programme level strategy into actual outcomes so team members are utilised correctly and fully understand the role they play in achieving success.
4. Accountable for full project lifecycle from receipt of need through scoping, construction, project handover, formal sign-off, and managing any warranty issues that arise post handover.
5. Work closely with Commercial and Planning teams to ensure cost and resource forecasts are maintained to required levels of accuracy whilst issues are mitigated and/or escalated to the Integrated Projects Leader for successful resolution.
6. Oversee the teams’ promoted solutions ensuring they are safe, commercially viable, and resolve the project requirements whilst being fit for purpose.
7. Responsible for ensuring each project meets the required deliverables and key project milestones such as Project Rehearsal and Fit for Assembly.
8. Create an open, approachable, and visible team environment which engages across the @one alliance, other alliances, and organisations to promote collaboration and knowledge sharing.
A little bit about your skills, experience and behaviours…
Possessing recent experience in the Water industry, you’ll have excellent knowledge of Health & Safety, drinking water standards, and CDM regulations to complement your IOSH qualification. Accustomed to dealing with multiple projects and ideally holding an APMP qualification, you’ll be comfortable professionally challenging a host of stakeholders by using your strong communication and relationship-building skills.
Your experience of working within a commercial framework and your knowledge of NEC Option C contracts will allow you to make decisions quickly for the best of the business. With a track record of successfully managing teams in a performance-driven environment, you’ll have the ability to step away from the detail and work strategically as and when required by giving your team the trust, empowerment, and support by delegating tasks.
If you believe you have the skill set required, are keen to join a business with genuine opportunities for career progression, then we’d love to hear from you.
