EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

We’re looking for a Project Manager to join our Bathing Rivers project as part of the Green Recovery programme at our Finham, Coventry office.

You will play an essential role in transforming 49km of rivers, providing new leisure and fitness opportunities for people by enabling safe swimming. The project also offers environmental benefits such as increased biodiversity and aquatic life.

You’ll be responsible for managing project risks, providing financial updates, and maintaining commercial controls throughout the programme, while defining appropriate products, standards, and timescales to ensure delivery on time and within budget.

You will actively engage with the Project Senior Management Team and effectively manage stakeholders across the business, communicating project deliverables clearly.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

The successful candidate will have experience leading projects within utilities, construction, rail, highways, or similar sectors. Ideally, you will have some experience working with NEC3/4, though this is not essential.

The role is comprehensive, with a significant focus on managing contracts and negotiations involved in the process.

We value the right skills and experience, but also the right character, positivity, and a caring attitude. We welcome people from all backgrounds, believing that diversity helps us serve our communities better.

We seek individuals who are proactive, involved, and eager to make a difference because they care. Is that you?

Some of our perks include:

• 28 days holiday + bank holidays (with options to buy/sell up to 5 days per year)
• Annual bonus scheme (up to £2,250 per year based on performance)
