We are looking for individuals who can challenge conventional thinking and work collaboratively to meet a wide range of business, environment and regulatory challenges for these clients. The role offers an opportunity for successful candidates to broaden and diversify their expertise.
As a Project Manager you will join our Water South team, managing the delivery of detailed designs and specifications, primarily for wastewater schemes. We have a varied project workload and strong pipeline of work with opportunities to manage large, highly complex schemes or multiple small schemes with a programme of work.
What we’re looking for from you:
An engineering related degree or equivalent.
A recognised project management qualification.
Membership of a relevant professional institution and working to or have achieved professional recognition.
The ability to work with engineers from all disciplines and other industry professionals to optimise and develop bespoke and innovative designs.
Experience in managing the delivery of water designs and specifications on water related projects for water companies, contractors and industry.
An appreciation of the implications of works on the environment and knowledge of sustainable solutions, water and wastewater processes and health and safety legislation.
Excellent relationship building skills and enjoy working closely with clients, architects and other members of the professional team and playing a pivotol role in establishing the brief and developing solutions that meet and exceed our client's expectations.
The confidence to undertake business development activity, client management and be commercially astute securing new and repeat business.

What’s in it for you?
This is an exciting time to join Sweco and if you want to be part of a company who is small in all the best ways but large enough to provide a diverse and exciting workload, this job is for you.
