Cardiff
To lead technically rigorous water circularity assignments that help industrial and infrastructure clients reduce freshwater dependence, manage wastewater and effluent risk, evaluate reuse and recycling options, and make defensible operational and investment decisions. The role sits between strategy and engineering: it must convert site and portfolio evidence into practical options, transparent calculations and proportionate next steps without claiming a level of feasibility or certainty the evidence cannot support.

This is secondary to delivery and should arise from live work rather than become a separate team-building mandate., • 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 such as cooling, cleaning, process use, boilers, wastewater treatment, effluent discharge and reuse interfaces., • 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.
