Project Manager (Mechanical Bias) – Pumping Projects

* Reading & surrounding areas (Thames Water sites)

* Up to £70,000 + Car/Allowance + 25 Days Holiday + Bonus

* 40 hours per week | Full-time, Permanent

J3A Recruitment are working with a growing engineering business delivering pumping solutions across the Thames Water network.

With a strong pipeline of work secured, they’re now looking to bring in an experienced Project Manager with a mechanical background to take ownership of projects across the region.

This isn’t a sit-back PM role — you’ll be fully involved from cradle to grave, working closely with clients and internal teams to deliver pumping projects safely, on time, and to a high standard.

What you’ll be doing as Project Manager

* Managing multiple pumping projects across clean & wastewater sites

* Delivering works across pumping stations, upgrades, installs and refurbishments

* Taking full ownership from initial client brief through to final handover

* Carrying out site surveys, scoping works and putting together quotations

* Producing RAMS, supporting design/fabrication drawings and planning delivery

* Managing subcontractors, site teams and programme timelines

* Client liaison throughout — being the go-to person on projects

* Involvement in commercials, variations and NEC contract management

What they’re looking for

* Strong mechanical background within the water industry

* Experience working on pumping stations / pumping solutions is key

* Proven track record managing projects end-to-end

* Comfortable dealing directly with clients and stakeholders

* Experience with NEC contracts and commercial awareness

* Ability to manage multiple projects without things slipping

* HNC / HND (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering preferred

* Thames Water experience highly beneficial

* SMSTS beneficial but not essential

This is a solid opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands-on, taking ownership and actually driving projects forward — not just sitting behind a spreadsheet.

The business is growing, work is there, and they’re looking for someone who wants to grow with it.

To be considered, apply with an up-to-date CV.
