About CPM
We're CPM Advisory and Project Management, and we work with government clients to deliver infrastructure that matters to communities. As a client‐side consultancy, we're involved in projects from the early planning stages right through to delivery and handover. Our team comes from all sorts of backgrounds: civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering, plus plenty of people with solid buildings project management experience. We work across five main areas: Civil (Roads & Transport), Energy, Ports & Maritime, Water, and Social Infrastructure. The projects we work on are the kinds of things you drive past or use every day: roads, rail lines, utilities, dams, marine infrastructure, civic buildings. We're there working alongside public sector clients to make sure these projects are built right, on time, and deliver real value to our clients and the community.
About the Role
This is a senior client‐side Program Manager role within our Water team. You'll be the lead across the full program lifecycle, from planning through to delivery, managing a team, working closely with client stakeholders, consultants, and delivery partners to keep complex, interdependent projects on track, on budget, and delivering real outcomes. Day‐to‐day, that means overseeing program‐level planning, driving physical delivery across multiple workstreams, managing risk, and providing strategic advice that helps achieve infrastructure goals for the community. Success in this role comes down to strong program governance, trusted stakeholder relationships, and the ability to drive end‐to‐end delivery across a large, complex water infrastructure program.
