Construction Manager in Peterborough

Here within the @one Alliance we are a totally collaborative organisation made up of eight partner companies (Anglian Water, Balfour Beatty, Barhale, Binnies, MMB, MWH Treatment, Skanska and SWECO) and our extended supply chain, delivering over half of Anglian Water’s capital investment programme. We are driving change, empowering us to set global benchmarks and build a better environment, offering enhanced growth and development to our workforce and a career progression environment.

With an exciting portfolio of projects planned for AMP8 to keep the water flowing across the region, our ability to manage our work and outperform against our customer’s expectations will come under greater scrutiny. We need aspiring, driven talent to help us achieve our ambitious targets.

As our new Construction Manager, you’ll be working within Water and Water Recycling Non‑Infrastructure to manage Health, Safety, Environmental and Sustainability with responsibility for CDM, ensuring compliance for all delivered construction work. While focusing on managing construction delivery, you’ll adopt a wider pan‑Alliance view, modelling appropriate Alliancing behaviours and leadership skills within integrated teams.

By managing your local construction delivery team to ensure all construction activities are provided in compliance with scheme deliverables, you’ll drive a culture of zero accidents and zero defects to meet our Delivery Milestones and provide the best service to our customers.

Key responsibilities:

• Lead and manage site construction teams within designated portfolios to deliver projects within approved budget and agreed time frame; facilitate project construction kick‑off meetings and lead health checks.
• Responsible for the performance of tier 2 suppliers in relation to Safety, Time and Quality, including approving RAMS to ensure they are appropriate and adequate.
• Take the lead with Constructability Reviews, Project Rehearsal and Fit for Assembly sign‑off, driving outperformance and innovation where possible.
• Drive a focus on zero waste and reducing embodied carbon within construction activities.
• Ensure that the site teams raise the relevant contractual and commercial notices to the rest of the Project Team in a timely manner.
• Work with the Lead Construction Manager to establish long‑term and short‑term resource needs (labour, plant, and materials).
• Ensure full H&S compliance is achieved, enabling the team to feel safe every day and have the confidence and autonomy to raise safety concerns.
• Implement a blend of standard products and innovation techniques that maintain our position as industry leaders.

A little bit about your skills, experience and behaviours:

To be successful, you’ll have proven experience of managing operational resources in a fast‑paced environment, complemented by an HNC/Degree in Civil or Construction Management. You’ll work across our Water and Water Recycling Non‑Infrastructure programme areas, so experience with large structures in the Water industry is essential.

Having attended a Site Management Safety Training Scheme and a Site Environmental Awareness Training Scheme, you’ll hold a CSCS Card (Black minimum) and will provide the highest levels of safety management to our teams, customers and environment.

Being an inspirational leader, you’ll encourage and support groups and individuals to achieve critical tasks and outcomes with a can‑do attitude and willingness to be hands‑on if required. You’ll operate at all levels, manage conflicting demands, demonstrate excellent communication skills, and will be performance‑driven, with proven experience of managing multiple stakeholder groups both internal and external to the organisation.

Visible leadership across our sites is expected; travel to sites across the Anglian Water region will be required.
