Description

Project Manager (M&E) – Water Sector | £50k–£75k | Hybrid | Multiple Locations

Based near Bristol, Swindon, Reading, or Slough

Permanent | Full-Time

Salary: £50,000 – £75,000 DOE

Are you a Project Manager with a Mechanical & Electrical background and experience in the water sector?

I’m currently working with several top-tier clients in the utilities and infrastructure space who are looking for talented PMs to deliver capital and non-infrastructure projects across the water industry.

The Opportunity

This is a fantastic permanent role offering long-term development with a stable and supportive business. You’ll be joining leading contractors or consultancies delivering key projects for Wessex Water, Thames Water, and Thames Valley.

Each Project Manager will be allocated to a specific regional client – so don’t worry, you won’t be travelling from Bristol to Slough! We’re hiring multiple PMs, so if you’re based in or around Bristol, Swindon, Reading, or Slough, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading Mechanical & Electrical projects from start to finish within the clean or wastewater sector.
• Working across hybrid environments – from home, to office, to site – depending on project stage.
• Managing programmes, subcontractors, budgets, and stakeholders with precision.
• Ensuring technical compliance and site safety throughout.
• Being the glue between delivery teams, clients, and supply chain partners.

What We’re Looking For

✅ Proven experience as a Project Manager in the UK water industry (Thames, Wessex, Severn Trent, etc.)

✅ Solid knowledge of Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) systems – ideally from an engineering or site-based background

✅ Strong commercial and stakeholder management skills

✅ UK driving licence + willingness to travel regionally within your patch

✅ Based within easy reach of either:

Bristol / Wessex area

Swindon / Reading / Slough (Thames Valley)

What’s in it for You?

✨ Salary up to £75,000 (DOE)

✨ Hybrid working with flexible schedules

✨ Career development and training with reputable businesses

✨ Varied and meaningful projects in a critical UK sector

✨ Secure, permanent roles with long-term frameworks
