How’s this for job satisfaction? At Scottish Water we look after Scotland's most precious natural resource. From source to tap, we’re guarding Scotland’s reputation for refreshingly pure water, and caring for our environment at the same time. Sound good? We’re looking for 2 Project Managers to join our HAUC Diversions Team. You’ll play a key part in protecting our assets while supporting development across Scotland. You’ll be responsible for technically assessing and responding to developer enquiries where new projects may impact Scottish Water’s infrastructure. You’ll oversee the delivery of HAUC Diversions through the full C2-C9 process, managing both technical and financial assessments along the way. And you’ll work closely with external customers, offering technical advice and information that helps them move projects forward while ensuring our networks remain safe, compliant, and protected. What you’ll do You’ll be the first point of contact for diversion enquiries, logging, tracking, and closing them in Astro Dynamics. That means checking information is complete, keeping records up to date, and making sure responses are accurate and on time. You’ll review technical submissions from developers, utilities, and other third parties, confirming any clashes with Scottish Water assets and checking designs against our standards. This will include supporting C3 and C4 diversion designs with consultants and working with organisations like Transport Scotland, BEAR Scotland, Network Rail, and local councils to secure approvals. You’ll keep projects moving by managing relationships with clients and colleagues, from design through to construction. That includes reviewing costs with our estimating team and clients, agreeing cost shares, and tracking progress through to final accounts. You’ll also work closely with our Managed Delivery team to monitor delivery, flag risks, and resolve issues. Finally, you’ll make sure diversion works are safe, compliant, and cause as little disruption to customers as possible. You’ll review risk assessments and method statements, support health and safety action groups, and play your part in continuous improvement. What you’ll need You’ll bring a solid understanding of how water distribution and wastewater systems operate, with the confidence to make quick, informed decisions when issues arise. That means balancing operational needs with customer impact and ensuring investment delivers long-term value. Strong communication and negotiation skills are key, as you’ll often work with regulators, local authorities, developers, and consultants. You’ll need to explain technical issues clearly, influence decisions, and represent Scottish Water’s interests while building positive relationships. You’ll also have experience managing projects and budgets, from reviewing technical submissions and cost proposals through to keeping schemes on track during delivery. Along the way, you’ll ensure compliance with legislation like the Water (Scotland) Act, the Sewerage (Scotland) Act, and health and safety requirements. Finally, you’ll be adaptable and customer-focused, ready to work in a mix of office and site environments and to respond when challenges arise. Looking out for you While the work we do is important, we know it’s not the only thing that matters. That’s why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance. You’ll get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays). And you can even buy five more if you need a little extra time. You can also take paid time off to volunteer in your community. When it comes to major life events we have family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave. And for the everyday? We embrace flexible working. For your future, there’s our pension (the ‘know-what-you’ll-get-when-you-retire’ kind), as well as life assurance. As for some nice extras? You can expect an annual company bonus. Not to mention access to SW Splash – handy rewards that can save you money on holidays, bills, and shopping.
