  • Minimum of 6 years' experience within the UK water industry or a consultancy setting.

  • Demonstrable experience delivering wastewater treatment projects and operational support.

  • Enthusiastic about innovation and continuous improvement in water sector processes.

What's on Offer:

  • Competitive salary and benefits package
