The Vacancy

Project Manager - Major Projects, Water Services

Binnies (an RSK Group company)

Join Us in Delivering the UK's Most Significant Water Infrastructure Projects

Binnies' Water Services team is growing, and we're looking for Project Managers of all levels to help deliver some of the UK's most important water infrastructure programmes. This is your chance to play a defining role in shaping the next generation of strategic water assets - from large-scale reservoirs to nationally significant water transfer schemes.

We offer flexible working arrangements, including hybrid, office-based or home-working options, depending on your preference and project needs.

Our Work

Our teams deliver multidisciplinary engineering, environmental and programme-wide solutions across the UK water sector. This includes civil, process and MEICA engineering, environmental assessment, modelling and nature-based solutions.

You will work within a collaborative Major Projects environment alongside technical specialists, commercial professionals and programme leaders delivering complex and nationally significant schemes.

We aim to create a fair, inclusive recruitment process and encourage applications from individuals with varied experiences, backgrounds and ways of thinking.

The Opportunity

As a Project Manager, you will lead the successful delivery of engineering and consultancy projects from concept through to completion - managing scope, programme, cost, risk, quality and client outcomes.

You do not need previous major projects experience and we actively welcome applicants from consultancy or engineering environments delivering small to medium-sized or complex multidisciplinary projects. You will work as part of a team of project managers and will be well supported.

Typical tasks for our project managers include:

• Lead project delivery across scope, schedule, cost, quality, risk and stakeholder management
• Manage NEC PSC contracts
• Build strong, trusted client relationships through regular communication, clear reporting, and collaborative problem-solving.
• Identify, manage and mitigate technical, commercial and programme risks
• Lead proposals, cost estimates and commercial reviews for new opportunities
• Develop effective resource plans and delivery strategies
• Ensure compliance with quality systems while driving continuous improvement
• Coach, mentor and support the development of colleagues across project teams

About You

We're looking for a confident, proactive project leader with strong consultancy experience and a collaborative mindset. You will bring:

• Experience delivering engineering or consultancy projects (any scale)
• No requirement for prior major projects experience - transferable skills are welcomed
• A professional qualification in Project Management and/or an engineering discipline
• Experience leading multidisciplinary teams and coordinating technical inputs
• Strong commercial and contractual awareness within a consultancy environment
• Proficiency with programme management tools such as MS Project
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

Experience in the water sector is beneficial but not essential; we welcome applicants from adjacent engineering sectors with relevant, transferable experience.

Why Join Binnies Major Projects?

In return, we offer:

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Flexible working arrangements, including hybrid working
• Employer pension scheme
• Private Medical Healthcare
• Life Assurance and Group Income Protection
• Structured professional development and career progression pathways
• Opportunities to work on nationally significant, career-defining water infrastructure programmes

Ready to Make an Impact?

If you're an experienced Project Manager looking to step into larger, more complex programmes - without needing prior major projects experience - we would love to hear from you.

If you require any adjustments during the recruitment process, we'll be happy to support you.
