Contract Project Manager – Water (Non-Infrastructure)
Guildford | £475 per day | Long-Term Framework
A Tier One contractor is looking to appoint an experienced Project Manager to support increased workload across a major water framework in the South East.
You will take ownership of multiple non-infrastructure schemes delivered within live operational environments, typically involving treatment works, pumping stations, and MEICA-led asset upgrades. This is a delivery-focused role with real responsibility, not a support position, suited to someone comfortable managing projects from early planning through to completion.
The framework itself is well established, with a strong pipeline of secured work, making this a role with genuine longevity beyond the initial six-month term.

Full lifecycle project delivery across capital maintenance schemes
-
Management of programme, commercial performance, and risk
-
Coordination of design, procurement, and site teams
-
Driving health & safety and ensuring CDM compliance
-
Maintaining strong relationships with client and key stakeholders
-
Leading projects in live environments where planning and communication are critical
What We’re Looking For
-
Proven experience delivering projects within the UK water sector
-
Strong background in non-infrastructure works such as MEICA, refurbishments, or plant upgrades
-
Working knowledge of NEC contracts
-
Confident managing multiple schemes concurrently
-
A structured, solutions-focused approach to project delivery
The Details
-
Office and site presence across the Guildford region
-
£475 per day
-
Initial 6-month contract with strong likelihood of extension
-
Immediate need due to secured framework workload
This role will suit a Project Manager who values stability, autonomy, and the opportunity to deliver technically meaningful projects within a mature delivery team.
