  • Understanding client and project technical requirements, assisting to develop solutions, and preparation of technical reports, designs & specifications, client proposals and presentations
  • Building and maintaining strong client relationships, including business development, and engagement throughout project delivery.
  • Working closely with our clients to develop innovative technical solutions in wastewater and water treatment

What you will bring to the team:
