The post’s primary function is project delivery and project management in the area of water resources assessment, planning and management.

We are looking for someone who has existing experience delivering and managing technical projects. We are looking for someone who is keen to progressively grow into an expanded role including corporate management and business development.

In the project delivery and management role, you will contribute to and manage a portfolio of projects. You will work with team members to deliver the project and meet client needs as required. This includes planning and contributing to project analysis and reporting. Delivering projects means you will be liaising with clients, coordinating activities and co-producing deliverables, tracking milestones, organising and eventually chairing meetings, and organising workshops and/or training courses in the UK or abroad. There may be opportunities or requirements to travel; typically in short trips of a few days but up to a week (may involve weekend travel).

Corporate management: coordinate a diverse and evolving set of activities including tracking and reporting on company resources, financial and personnel management, contributing to and leading bids, building & maintaining client relationships in addition to other aspects of business administration. You will gradually be expected to represent the company in meetings and to present the company’s work and products to partners and/or clients.

Business development: identify UK and international opportunities, discuss them with other team members, identify their personnel requirements, lead or contribute to proposals/bids (including submission), and plan eventual new hires or subcontracts. In this role you will contribute to growing the business.

KEY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The range of duties set out below is indicative but not prescriptive or comprehensive as the duties may evolve with Nexsys’ activities and outputs. You will be expected to show flexibility and adaptability in meeting the developing needs of a dynamic and innovative spin-out company. You will work with the senior management team in a diverse and evolving series of areas.

Initially these will be focused on:

  • Contributing as a team member to projects bids, deliverables (presentations, reports, and training courses) as a senior water assessment and planning engineer
  • Coordinating the production of projects bids and deliverables
  • Project management, including tracking resources, costs, deliverables and organising internal and client meetings.

Over time you will take increasingly take on corporate management and business development duties, for example:

  • Planning, management, analysis of company resources/finances and project spend,
  • Maintaining the company project portfolio by tracking, reporting on, and quality controlling their milestones and deliverables,
  • Maintaining relationships with current and future clients to create new opportunities,
  • Funding & consultancy opportunity identification, and bid writing and submission,
  • Contracting, invoicing and business growth planning, and
  • Supporting other colleagues when required (e.g. during peak workflow, sickness, etc.).
