Project Manager - Water Treatment & Nuclear Infrastructure Location - Suffolk Are you an experienced Project Manager looking to deliver complex infrastructure on one of the UK's most significant major projects? We're looking for a highly capable Project Manager to take full ownership of the delivery of the Foul Treatment Plant and Potable Water Plant. This is a major project leadership role with responsibility for taking both facilities through the complete lifecycle - from design and procurement through construction, commissioning and final handover. If you have delivered complex water, wastewater, utilities, process plant, energy or major infrastructure projects and want to bring that experience into the nuclear sector, this could be an exceptional next step. The Opportunity You'll act as the single point of accountability for the successful delivery of the Foul Treatment and Potable Water facilities, leading multidisciplinary teams and managing projects potentially valued from £10m to £100m+. Working within the wider programme, you'll coordinate engineering consultants, construction contractors, commissioning specialists, commercial teams, supply-chain partners and key project stakeholders. This is much more than a traditional Project Manager position. You'll have the opportunity to influence design, construction strategy, commercial performance, programme delivery and commissioning while helping deliver infrastructure critical to the successful operation of project. What You'll Be Doing You'll lead the project from concept through to operational handover, with responsibility for: Managing the design, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning of the Foul Treatment and Potable Water Plants. Developing and delivering the Project Execution Plan. Leading multidisciplinary engineering, commercial, construction and commissioning teams. Managing project budgets, forecasts and expenditure. Driving programme performance and achieving critical milestones. Managing project risks, opportunities, change and interfaces. Overseeing contractor and supply-chain performance. Coordinating civil, mechanical, electrical and process design activities. Leading design reviews, constructability assessments and value-engineering initiatives. Supporting procurement, contract administration and commercial negotiations. Ensuring safe and efficient construction delivery. Leading commissioning, integrated testing and operational-readiness activities. Delivering successful handover to operations and asset-management teams. Providing clear project reporting and presenting performance to senior stakeholders. Ensuring delivery meets the rigorous safety, quality, environmental and regulatory standards expected on a nuclear licensed site. What We're Looking For You'll ideally have at least 5 years' Project Management experience delivering complex projects within sectors such as: Water Wastewater Utilities Process Engineering Energy Nuclear Infrastructure Major Construction You should bring: Experience delivering design-and-build projects from concept through construction and commissioning. A strong track record managing multidisciplinary projects valued at £10m+. Experience working within a regulated or highly controlled environment. Strong contractor and supply-chain management capability. Good knowledge of project controls, scheduling, risk and change management. Commercial awareness and confidence managing budgets and contracts. Strong stakeholder-management and leadership skills. The ability to solve complex delivery challenges and make confident project decisions. A sound technical understanding of treatment plant, utilities or process infrastructure. Qualifications Ideally, you'll hold or be working towards Chartered status with a recognised professional institution such as ICE, IMechE, IChemE, IET or APM. A recognised Project Management qualification such as APM PMQ, APM PQ, PRINCE2 Practitioner or equivalent would also be expected. Experience with NEC contracts, commissioning management, environmental management or nuclear quality arrangements would be highly advantageous. Nuclear Experience? It's beneficial - but it doesn't have to define your background. We're particularly interested in speaking with experienced Project Managers who have successfully delivered water treatment, wastewater treatment, utilities or complex process infrastructure and are ready to apply that expertise within a major nuclear new-build environment. Previous experience with Sizewell C, Hinkley Point C, Sellafield, EDF or another major nuclear programme would be a strong advantage. Why This Role? This is an opportunity to take ownership of critical infrastructure on a programme that will shape the UK's energy landscape for decades. You'll work on technically challenging projects, collaborate with some of the industry's leading engineering and construction specialists and play a key role in delivering essential infrastructure for one of Europe's most important major construction programmes. If you're looking for scale, complexity, responsibility and the opportunity to make a genuine impact, we'd like to hear from you.

Senior Bid Manager - Tier 1 Contractor - Civil Engineering - Remote Reporting to: Head of Bid Management As Senior Bid Manager, you will own a portfolio of opportunities from qualification through submission, clarification and post-tender review. You will establish the plan, define responsibilities, manage dependencies and keep operational, technical, commercial and senior stakeholders aligned to clear deadlines. The portfolio is deliberately varied, combining major framework procurements with a high volume of smaller in-framework opportunities. Success will depend on your ability to apply proportionate governance, maintain momentum across concurrent bids and ensure every input, review and final output is complete, coherent and submission-ready. We're a leading, Tier 1 UK contractor working in the water and civil engineering sectors, delivering projects that help improve everyday life. From building pipelines and upgrading pumping stations to maintaining reservoirs and drainage systems, we support cleaner water, stronger infrastructure and more reliable services for communities. Requirements The company are looking for an experienced, hands-on bid professional with the judgement and resilience to manage several opportunities at different stages. You will be accountable for the overall bid process and submission outcome, coordinating diverse contributors, setting expectations and following through on actions. Strong writing and editing skills remain important, but this is first and foremost an ownership role for someone who can create order from complex inputs, keep senior stakeholders engaged and deliver consistently against immovable deadlines. Proven experience managing and delivering bids for a main contractor. Direct UK water-sector bidding experience would be a significant advantage. Candidates without water-sector experience should bring relevant bidding experience from civil engineering, infrastructure or electrical and MEICA contracting. Strong experience controlling concurrent bids through clear programmes, deliverables matrices, action tracking, review schedules and disciplined progress reporting. Experience working as part of a pre-construction team and using informed questions to help operational, technical and commercial specialists develop credible methodologies covering sequencing, resources, logistics, interfaces, constraints and risk controls. Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the confidence to secure timely inputs, challenge missed commitments, resolve dependencies and escalate risks early. Commercial awareness and the ability to understand how pricing strategy, programme, contractual obligations, assumptions, exclusions, risk and opportunity influence both the proposed solution and the written submission. Strong Microsoft 365 skills, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams and SharePoint. APMP accreditation or a relevant bid/project management qualification would be advantageous. Direct UK water-sector bidding experience would be a major advantage. We will also consider strong candidates from civil engineering, infrastructure or electrical and MEICA contracting who can demonstrate relevant pre-construction experience and the ability to transfer their knowledge into water-sector solutions. You do not need to be a Quantity Surveyor, engineer or technical designer, but you do need enough commercial awareness and technical curiosity to test assumptions, understand how the proposed solution will be delivered and recognise where programme, cost, risk and contractual considerations affect the bid. You must also know when specialist judgement is required and bring the right people together to resolve an issue.
