We’re proud to be recognised as a leader in the UK water sector, working towards a greener future. Our goals? As well as lowering our carbon footprint, we’re working with partners to plant 300,000 trees, restore peatlands and supporting farmers and landowners to improve water quality and wildlife.

Whether you’re starting out or seeking a new challenge, our scale and ambition create opportunities for you to shape your own career.

Ready to make a splash? Join our team today.

We’re looking for an experienced Programme Manager to lead the successful design and delivery of a multi million pound capital investment programme of multi discipline projects. Working with Tier 1 and Tier 2 partners and a team of Project Managers, you’ll ensure projects are governed, commercially controlled, and delivered to the highest standards of safety and quality.

This is a senior leadership role requiring strong commercial acumen and hands-on experience managing programmes under NEC contracts.

What you'll be doing:

Lead delivery of a multi million pound capital programme, ensuring strong governance, planning, and execution.
Maintain full commercial control, ensuring all projects align with NEC contract frameworks and protect the business from risk and loss.
Ensure works are only initiated in line with approved budgets and Board-sanctioned governance.
Present monthly programme forecasts, proactively managing risks, changes, and budget variances.
Lead audits across Health & Safety, Quality, and Environmental compliance, driving continuous improvement.
Oversee engineering solutions to ensure compliance with standards and protection of water quality and public health.
Manage programme risks through a robust risk register, ensuring no surprises to senior stakeholders.
Lead, develop, and support high-performing teams through clear objectives, regular reviews, and development plans.

What we are looking for:

Essential

Strong NEC contract experience (NEC3/NEC4)
Client-side or asset owner experience
Full UK Driving Licence

Desirable

Experience in a regulated environment (e.g. water, utilities, infrastructure)
Knowledge of AMP cycles / regulatory frameworks (if applicable)
Programme controls experience (e.g. cost forecasting, Primavera P6, earned value)
Degree in Engineering or related discipline
Professional accreditation (e.g. Chartered Engineer, APM, or equivalent)

What's in it for you?

We know our people drive our success — so we’re committed to offering an excellent range of benefits, including:

30 days annual leave + bank holidays
Bonus Plan
Private Healthcare
Company car or cash for car allowance
Competitive contributory pension
Share-save scheme
Health benefits & wellbeing support programmes
Group discounts
Cycle to Work scheme
Financial support services
Development and training opportunities
… and much more!

Closing Date: 30th June 2026

We may close this vacancy early if we receive a high volume of applications. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

Please note that the successful candidate will be subject to a mandatory DBS check as part of the onboarding process.

Be yourself, we like it that way. Together, we will build a culture of belonging, where inclusion is instinctive. Diversity is our strength and a reflection of our communities. We care, we value everyone, we celebrate uniqueness.

Our core values, which are essential to our success, are:

Be Rock Solid - Build trust and be trusted. Be the one we all look to and can depend on.

Be You - We want you to bring your best everyday. Be yourself and make your mark in your individual way.

Be the Future - Embrace change. Drive Progress. Own the challenge.
