About the Role

Lead technically rigorous water circularity assignments to help clients reduce freshwater dependence, manage wastewater risk, evaluate reuse options, and make informed decisions. This role bridges strategy and engineering, converting evidence into practical options and transparent calculations.

Responsibilities

Lead technical workstreams and projects from scoping through fieldwork, analysis, client workshops, reporting and close-out.
Interrogate client data, identify gaps and design proportionate evidence-gathering plans.
Prepare and review calculations, models, option matrices, technical memoranda, reports and client-ready decision products.
Provide senior technical direction to consultants and analysts.
Coordinate specialist inputs from various engineering and science disciplines.
Act as a trusted technical adviser to client stakeholders.
Support proposals and extensions by defining credible evidence protocols, methods, and deliverables.
Maintain project commercial control, quality, health and safety, risk management and governance.
Contribute to the development of the Water Circularity offer by codifying sound methods and templates.

Requirements

Demonstrable professional experience in industrial water, wastewater, environmental engineering, water efficiency, treatment, reuse or circular water systems.
Ability to lead a site or portfolio water assessment independently and convert incomplete operational data into a transparent, technically defensible analysis.
Practical understanding of industrial water systems.
Experience with water balances, opportunity calculations, technology screening, treatment-performance review and implementation constraints.
Sound judgement about the boundary between screening, conceptual optioneering, feasibility, design and implementation, and the ability to explain that boundary clearly to clients.
Experience working with industrial sectors such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, manufacturing, chemicals, energy, technology/data centres or mining.
Strong technical writing, structured problem-solving, data analysis and client communication.
Experience leading projects or technical teams, with responsibility for scope, budget, programme, risk and quality.
Relevant degree or equivalent professional background in environmental, chemical, civil or water engineering, environmental science or a closely related field.
QUEST or comparable industrial resource-efficiency and audit methodology experience.
Experience in trade-effluent permitting, industrial discharge compliance, ecotoxicology or micropollutants.
Experience constructing true-cost-of-water, marginal-abatement or scenario models for water investment decisions.
Experience conducting field audits, specifying sampling or measurement plans, or working alongside engineering teams on feasibility and implementation.
French or another European language, particularly where it supports EMEA industrial and pharmaceutical delivery.
