Purpose Our excellent track record in supporting the water industry and airports is resulting in substantial and exciting growth of our Water & Environment Team. We have established long-term relationships with many of the UK s water companies and airport operators. Consequently, we are servicing multiple environmental frameworks and some sizeable capital water and wastewater projects.

The role will also require some commercial understanding and the ability to own client and stakeholder relationships. Maintaining quality of service provision is essential, whilst balancing client needs and environmental regulatory requirements within the confines of contracts.

An appetite and experience in developing new business would also be very much welcome.
