Mid-Level Project Manager - Water/Wastewater (Civil/Biosystems/Environmental)

We are seeking a Mid-Level Project Manager to support the delivery of water and wastewater infrastructure projects from planning and design through construction and closeout. This role is suited to a civil, biosystems, environmental, or related engineering professional who combines sound technical knowledge with strong project management and communication skills. You will work with clients, consultants, contractors, regulators, and internal teams to deliver safe, practical, and environmentally responsible solutions.


Responsibilities will include managing project scope, schedules, budgets, risks, quality requirements, and documentation; coordinating multidisciplinary design and technical teams; preparing and reviewing reports, specifications, drawings, cost estimates, and procurement documentation; and supporting permitting, approvals, tendering, construction administration, commissioning, and project closeout. You will monitor progress, resolve technical and contractual issues, lead project meetings, maintain clear communication with stakeholders, and identify opportunities to improve project outcomes. The role may also involve business development support, proposal preparation, site visits, construction inspections, and mentoring less experienced team members.


Applicants should have a relevant bachelor's degree in civil, environmental, biosystems, or a comparable engineering discipline, along with approximately five or more years of progressive experience delivering water, wastewater, municipal infrastructure, or related environmental projects. Professional registration or eligibility for registration is preferred. Experience with treatment facilities, collection and conveyance systems, pumping stations, drainage, water resources, or asset renewal projects will be valued. Strong understanding of project delivery methods, health and safety requirements, environmental legislation, and applicable technical standards is expected. Candidates should be organised, commercially aware, confident working independently, and capable of managing competing priorities while maintaining high-quality work. Proficiency with common project management, design, scheduling, and document-control software is an advantage. Occasional travel to project and client sites may be required.
