Building a sustainable tomorrow

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Project Manager to join our team in Norfolk. The Norfolk Broads are an area of natural beauty for the people that live there and for many who holiday there every year. BAM are currently in the early phase of a 8-10 year programme of work replacing the current pumping stations. The existing pumping stations that pump water off the broads into the local river network are in the region of 50 years old and have come to the end of their life. Across the river catchments of the Yare, Bure, Lower Waveney & Upper Thurne there are a total of 50 pumping stations that require replacement.

Across all of these schemes BAM provide ECI support to our Client along with their chosen design consultant. Currently BAM are on site constructing the first scheme, formed of two 1.2m diameter Archimedes screw pumps and circa £5m in value. We are in the final stages of agreeing a construction contract for the next phase consisting of thirteen pumping stations across the Upper Thurne catchment area, providing three years of work in this catchment. This phase of the scheme will be valued at circa £40-50m over three years. The lower Waveney catchment has progressed through the Outline Design phase supporting the clients funding application into the detailed design phase. The Yare catchment is in its outline business case phase and the Bure will start the same phase in the coming months.
