• Conducting regular site visits to monitor progress and resolve issues
• Supporting procurement, planning, and reporting activities
• Ensuring health & safety standards are maintained throughout
• Managing project risks and driving efficient delivery

Requirements

• Backgrounds considered: Site Engineer, Site Manager, General Foreman
• Experience delivering projects within the water or wastewater sector
• Strong understanding of drainage, pipelines, and sewer infrastructure
• Experience working for a self‑delivery contractor
• Ability to manage projects rather than just subcontract packages
