Quick Overview
Job Description
Hybrid Working | Project Manager – Civil Engineering (Water Sector, Scotland)
We’re working with a fast-growing, privately owned civil engineering contractor that has evolved from a small family business into a major name in Scottish infrastructure — while keeping a genuine people-first culture at its core.
They’re now looking for a high-performing Project Manager to lead the delivery of critical water infrastructure projects across Scotland.
The OpportunityThis is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll take ownership of complex civil engineering schemes from start to finish. You’ll be trusted to drive delivery across programme, commercial performance, and site execution — working closely with site teams, clients, and supply chain partners.
Projects are within live operational environments, so confidence, communication, and calm decision-making are key.
What you’ll bring- Proven Project Management experience in civil engineering
- Strong background working with Scottish Water or within its delivery frameworks
- Experience delivering live water infrastructure projects
- Natural leadership ability with strong commercial awareness and stakeholder management
Bonus points if you’ve worked on reservoirs or water-retaining structures.
Why this role stands outThis isn’t just another contractor role — it’s a business that has scaled successfully without losing its identity.
They genuinely focus on:
- Putting people first and supporting wellbeing
- Investing in communities and future talent through outreach and engagement
- Driving sustainability and reducing environmental impact in everything they deliver
- Building long-term relationships, not transactional project wins
You’ll have autonomy, trust, and visibility — with the backing of a stable, growing business that continues to win and deliver major work.
Working patternHybrid working – split between site, office, and remote flexibility depending on project demands
