ABOUT THE COMPANY
My client is arguably the most impressive utility contractors in London & the South East. They have an industry-leading, data, and technology team, a brilliant tier-one, yet humble senior leadership team, and one of the strongest commercial teams in the utility industry. My client is a multi-disciplined, cash-rich, well-known contractor who is currently turning over £90M per annum with projections of turning over £100M in the next year. They specialise primarily within the water (wastewater and clean water) and infrastructure/non-infrastructure areas of civil engineering, with offices in North London, Kent, and on the south coast (this role will be based in their North London office). The company has some of the best staff in the industry working for them, they are very well respected across the utility industry and they’re financially very secure and in a stable position. While the business is looking to expand, they are also keen to maintain its family feel atmosphere, where it’s a fun working environment and everyone, is treated as a name, not a number, with the respect from the directors across the company. This is a contractor I enjoy recruiting for. Over the last 4 and a half years I have placed 3 of their senior managers and all of them are still there and enjoying it.
They are a relationship-based contractor and pride themselves on the quality of the work that they produce. This has led them to have repeat business with Thames Water, holding certain frameworks for over 30 years. On top of this, they have long-standing relationships with Affinity Water, Southern Water, and South East Water and have recently started working with Anglian Water.

You will be working in a really good team, a team with a great technical understating of the utility industry, meaning you will be learning and developing your skill set in the long term.
REQUIREMENTS
You will need to have Project Management experience working on water infrastructure projects for a UK-based, self-delivering utility contractor. On top of this, I am looking for someone technically capable so a degree in Civil Engineering or Construction Management is preferred as well as having good stability throughout your CV.

I have used Cityscape Recruitment multiple times over the last 5 years. Very pleasant to deal with and all candidates put forward for interview are well suited to the position and well vetted by the team, so there is no time wasted with unsuitable applicants. I would highly recommend Cityscape. I intend to use them again in the future should any vacancies become available.
