  • The ability to work with engineers from all disciplines and other industry professionals to optimise and develop bespoke and innovative designs.
  • Experience in managing the delivery of water designs and specifications on water related projects for water companies, contractors and industry.

  • The confidence to undertake business development activity, client management and be commercially astute securing new and repeat business.

What’s in it for you?

This is an exciting time to join Sweco and if you want to be part of a company who is small in all the best ways but large enough to provide a diverse and exciting workload, this job is for you.
