As a Project Manager, your background needs to be from a Client (utility provider) or Consultancy, as this role is embedded in a client's Capital Projects team. Depending on your background, you could be delivering either infrastructure (developer services) or non-infrastructure water/Wastewater projects. You must understand the strategic elements of project management, not just the hands-on delivery of the project, but also program development and implementation.
