Looking for a role where your influence extends beyond your own projects? As an Associate Director, you've built your career delivering complex technical work, developing client relationships and supporting the growth of your team. But perhaps you're now looking for an opportunity where you can have a greater impact on the wider business.
Our client is a growing organisation delivering specialist environmental, surveying, planning and infrastructure services. As they continue to expand, they're looking for an experienced technical leader to join the business and help shape the future of their multidisciplinary technical function.
