  • Foster strong relationships with key clients, identifying their specific needs and tailoring Venterra's services and solutions to meet those requirements.
  • Actively participate in business development activities, including identifying new opportunities, attending industry conferences, and networking to expand Venterra's presence and market share.
  • Monitor industry trends, regulatory changes, and competitor activities, providing strategic insights and recommendations to drive continuous improvement and innovation within the organisation.

Desired experience:

  • Familiarity with the UXO risk management industry, including survey and clearance techniques, is highly advantageous.
