About the Role
The Strategic Pipeline Alliance (SPA) project involves the planning, design and construction of circa 320km of new strategic, large diameter, clean water pipeline and associated infrastructure across Anglian Water’s region. As the project progresses through AMP8, additional scope including 240km of new pipeline and infrastructure is expected to be delivered by the Alliance. As a key partner, Costain is recruiting a Project Manager focused solely on the delivery of projects and programmes in the North Lincolnshire region. Projects must be delivered safely, on time, within budget, and in line with quality, environmental, and customer requirements while complying with Governance and processes including Project Management, Health and Safety, Commercial, and Risk Value and Opportunity management.
The Project Manager will oversee elements of this multimillion-pound project throughout its full life cycle.

Responsibilities include translating programme-level strategy into outcomes, ensuring resource utilisation aligns with company performance metrics, developing collaborative working relationships with stakeholders and supply chain partners, managing the full project lifecycle from enabling through construction to handover and warranty management, and supporting governance boards as necessary.
The Project Manager will work closely with the Commercial team to maintain accurate cost forecasts, mitigate cost variances, manage risk and change, ensure proper project planning in P6 and SAP, and lead peer and constructability reviews to ensure safety and commercial viability of solutions. The role also requires driving a culture of continuous improvement in Health & Safety to maintain a zero-accident environment and fostering an open and collaborative working culture.
