We Would Like You To Demonstrate

• Experience of building trusted client relationships and leading account activity within a business-to-business or framework environment.
• Business development experience covering opportunity identification, early positioning, capture planning and bid leadership.
• Experience within water, utilities, regulated infrastructure, environmental programmes, local government frameworks or another relevant infrastructure market.
• Commercial awareness, including an understanding of pipeline management, bid decisions, delivery risk and account profitability.
• The ability to connect client insight with technical capability and delivery resources across multidisciplinary teams.
• A credible delivery background in areas such as programme management, project management, project controls, cost or commercial management, advisory services or technical delivery.
• A collaborative leadership style, with the ability to influence and support teams without creating unnecessary hierarchy.
• Flexibility to travel within your region and to other UK client or framework locations when required.

It would also be helpful if you bring one or more of the following:

• Direct water-sector experience, including exposure to AMP8 programmes, water-company frameworks, strategic resource options or environmental improvement programmes.
• A relevant professional qualification or chartered status.
• An established network across water, utilities, regulated infrastructure or local government.
• Familiarity with CRM and pipeline management systems, project controls or reporting tools, and Microsoft 365 collaboration environments.

If your experience is stronger in either water-sector delivery or client-account growth, rather than both, we would still be interested in hearing from you. Transferable experience gained within complex, regulated or client-facing environments may align well with this opportunity.

Don’t quite meet all the criteria? Apply, and we can see how your experience aligns to this role and other opportunities within the team.
