Job Overview:

Contracts Supervisor – Water Projects

Location: Kettering-based with UK-wide travel

Are you practical, hands-on, and experienced in delivering work on live sites — and ready for more responsibility?

We’re recruiting a Contracts Supervisor to join a specialist contractor working across clean and wastewater environments throughout the UK. This role is ideal for someone from a water, utilities, petrochemical or engineering background who enjoys being on site, working with people, and taking ownership of projects as they’re delivered.

You don’t need to tick every box already. What matters most is experience in live site environments, the confidence to lead, and the appetite to step into a role with real responsibility.

You’ll be a visible presence on site, supporting teams, overseeing works, and ensuring projects run safely and smoothly. When not on site, you’ll work from the Kettering office, helping plan upcoming works and supporting the wider team.

The role will involve:

• Being the main point of contact on site during project delivery

• Supporting and guiding site teams to deliver work safely and efficiently

• Working closely with technical and operations teams to prepare for upcoming contracts

• Helping solve problems on site and adapt plans as needed

• Completing basic site documentation and reporting

• Travelling to sites across the UK as required

This could suit you if you:

• Have experience working on water, utilities, infrastructure, filtration, pumping, marine, or similar sites

• Have led teams before — formally or informally

• Are practical, organised, and confident communicating with others

• Hold a CSCS card and a full UK driving licence

Any additional tickets (EUSR, confined space, plant, first aid) are useful, but not essential — support and training can be provided.

Why consider this role?

• Join a well-established specialist contractor with over 35 years’ experience

• Step into a role with real autonomy and trust

• Learn a specialist area of the water industry

• Competitive salary dependent on experience
