  * Work collaboratively with internal teams and external stakeholders to deliver best-in-class solutions

About You

  * Extensive experience (typically 10+ years) within the water sector, with a strong focus on drainage and wastewater management

  * Proven expertise in DWMP (Drainage and Wastewater Management Planning)

  * Comfortable with national travel and flexible working arrangements

What’s on Offer

  * £80,000 – £100,000+ salary (flexible for the right individual)

  * Performance-related bonus

  * Strong benefits package including pension, healthcare, and additional perks

  * Clear opportunity to shape and grow a business area

  * Autonomy and influence at a senior level

  * Long-term career progression within a growing organisation
