  • Performance Tracking: Monitor group performance indicators through insightful reports to track sales growth, cost management, and achievement of win and booking targets.
  • Technical Oversight: Provide senior-level guidance on drinking water treatment processes (e.g. conventional treatment, membrane filtration, ozone/UV disinfection, chemical feed systems, and residual management).
  • Internal AECOM Liaison: Represent the local market sector within the national AECOM network, liaising with internal stakeholders for reporting and business functions.
  • External Industry Representation: Represent AECOM at industry conferences (e.g., OWWA, AWWA, CWN), coordinating team participation in relevant conferences and sponsorship opportunities to maintain a pulse on emerging treatment technologies, market trends, regulatory shifts and developing client contacts.
  • Mentorship: Lead and mentor a highly performing and passionate team of 10, including project managers, junior, and intermediate process engineers, with a clear focus on fostering technical excellence, collaborative design practices and the integration of advanced treatment technologies. Provide hands-on guidance in staff career development and cultivate an environment that encourages innovation, knowledge sharing, and professional growth.
