Project Planning and Initiation:

• Develop comprehensive project plans, including scope, objectives, timelines, and resource requirements for water infrastructure projects.
• Collaborate with design and engineering teams to finalise project specifications and technical details.
• Establish project budgets, cost estimates, and financial controls to ensure effective cost management.
• Identify and assess potential risks and create mitigation strategies to address safety, environmental, and technical challenges.

Project Execution and Coordination:

• Lead the execution of water infrastructure projects from conception to completion.
• Manage and oversee the work of on-site teams, including engineers, contractors, subcontractors, and consultants.
• Ensure that projects adhere to regulatory requirements, safety standards, and environmental guidelines.
• Allocate and manage project resources, including labour, equipment, and materials, to maintain project efficiency.

Stakeholder Management:

• Act as the primary point of contact for clients, regulatory bodies, contractors, and other key stakeholders.
• Regularly communicate project status, progress, risks, and changes to stakeholders.
• Negotiate contracts and manage relationships with suppliers, vendors, and subcontractors.
• Liaise with local authorities and regulatory bodies to secure permits, approvals, and ensure compliance with water quality standards.

Team Leadership and Management:

• Lead and manage cross-functional project teams, ensuring clear communication and alignment of project goals.
• Provide guidance, support, and mentor project staff, ensuring team members have the necessary tools and knowledge to perform their tasks.
• Conduct performance reviews, monitor team progress, and address any performance-related issues.

Budget and Cost Control:

• Monitor project budgets to ensure costs are kept within the allocated budget.
• Implement cost control measures, track expenditures, and prepare financial forecasts.
• Approve project expenditures and maintain oversight of financial documentation and reports.
• Manage variations, claims, and cost changes to minimise financial risks.

Risk Management and Problem Solving:

• Identify project risks and develop contingency plans to minimise the impact of unforeseen events.
• Resolve project issues, including technical challenges, delays, and contractual disputes.
• Ensure that safety and environmental risks are addressed and properly mitigated.

Quality Assurance and Control:

• Ensure that all work is completed to the required specifications, engineering standards, and industry best practices.
• Oversee quality control checks and testing processes throughout the project life cycle.
• Conduct site inspections and ensure compliance with health, safety, and environmental regulations.

Reporting and Documentation:

• Prepare and submit regular project reports, including progress updates, financial performance, and risk assessments.
• Maintain accurate records of project activities, including contracts, permits, and construction documentation.
• Ensure that all necessary documentation is submitted upon project completion for client handover.

Sustainability and Environmental Compliance:

• Ensure projects are delivered with a focus on sustainability and minimal environmental impact, in line with water industry regulations.
• Manage and monitor environmental impacts, especially regarding water quality, erosion control, and water resource management.
