Join to apply for the Site Manager role at Anglian Water @one Alliance

Location: Peterborough / Anglian Water sites

Help Build a Resilient Water Future Through Leadership, Quality and Collaboration

Join the @one Alliance – a collaborative partnership of eight industry-leading companies (Anglian Water, Balfour Beatty, Barhale, Binnies, MMB, MWH Treatment, Skanska, and SWECO) delivering over half of Anglian Water’s capital investment programme. As we move into AMP8, we’re gearing up to deliver an ambitious pipeline of infrastructure projects that support sustainable growth, environmental protection and long-term resilience for communities across the East of England.

We are now looking for a Site Manager to join our delivery team – someone with a proactive mindset and a passion for quality and safety in construction delivery.

Your Purpose

As a Site Manager, you will lead site-based delivery activities on complex infrastructure projects, ensuring construction works are delivered safely, efficiently, and to a high standard. Working closely with the Construction Manager, you will coordinate subcontractors, manage resources, and oversee day-to-day operations to meet project milestones.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Manage and coordinate site activities in line with the construction programme, including subcontractor performance, resources, and materials.
• Lead by example in ensuring all safety, quality, and environmental management systems are adhered to and embedded on site.
• Support project handover and ensure all works are completed to a safe-to-operate (STO) standard at DM4.
• Maintain site compliance with assurance requirements (CSIR, CEIR, CQIR), working alongside the Delivery Assurance Manager.
• Monitor and manage budgets in coordination with the Cost Manager; approve site expenditure, timesheets, and GRNs in line with governance.
• Review and approve subcontractor RAMS, manage site requisitions, and ensure plant and materials are utilised efficiently.
• Take ownership of the rework list, ensuring timely resolution and submission for construction assurance.
• Collaborate with the Project Delivery Team to support programme, cost and quality reporting, and risk management.
• Support change management processes and accurate use of CCMS for cost control and purchasing.
• Liaise with Anglian Water operations staff to ensure seamless asset transition and operational readiness.
• Lead and motivate the site team, promoting a culture of accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement.
  
  

About You

We’re looking for an experienced and confident Site Manager with strong leadership skills and a solid background in infrastructure delivery, ideally in the water or utilities sector.

You will bring:

• Demonstrable experience managing large-scale construction projects with a value of £20 million or more, preferably within the infrastructure or regulated utility sectors.
• A proven track record of successfully delivering complex site operations in line with time, cost and quality targets.
• Strong understanding of health, safety, environmental and quality standards in a live site environment.
• Experience managing subcontractors and supply chain partners to meet programme objectives.
• Commercial awareness and confidence in managing site budgets, cost reporting, and procurement systems.
• Familiarity with project assurance and governance processes, including change control and risk mitigation.
• The ability to lead, engage, and develop site teams, while maintaining excellent stakeholder relationships.
  
  

A construction-related qualification is desirable. Experience working within alliance or collaborative delivery models, along with knowledge of CCMS and digital site management tools, will be advantageous.

Why Join Us?

This is a fantastic opportunity to play a hands-on role in delivering some of the UK’s most critical water infrastructure projects.
