Our Water Hygiene Business Unit is a new division built upon our core competencies in pre‑commissioning cleaning, remedial cleaning, and closed system management. We are dedicated to delivering innovative, compliant, and efficient water management solutions for commercial and industrial clients. By integrating cutting‑edge smart building technologies and data‑driven maintenance solutions with specialist expertise in water treatment and HVAC commissioning, we ensure safe, sustainable water systems.
Key Responsibilities
- Technical Leadership: Apply deep expertise in water hygiene processes, including chlorination, disinfection, and maintenance of domestic water systems (e.g., hot and cold water systems, storage tanks) and cooling towers (e.g., evaporative cooling systems, drift eliminators, water treatment programs), building on our established strengths in pre‑commissioning cleaning, remedial cleaning, and closed system management.
- Compliance and Risk Management: Interpret legionella risk assessments and develop, implement, and oversee control schemes and strategies for both domestic water systems and cooling towers to ensure compliance with regulatory standards (e.g., HSE ACoP L8, HTM 04‑01). Audit compliance programs to mitigate risks.

- Operational Oversight: Manage day‑to‑day operations, including planning, resource allocation, and project execution, to ensure timely and high‑quality service delivery to clients across both domestic water and cooling tower services.
- Team Leadership: Guide and mentor a team of water hygiene engineers. Provide technical training and support to maintain high standards of service and safety in water hygiene and cooling tower operations.
- Client and Stakeholder Engagement: Build relationships with clients, regulatory bodies, and internal stakeholders. Provide expert advice on water system and cooling tower design, maintenance, and upgrades to enhance hygiene and efficiency based on risk assessment outcomes.
- Business Development Support: Identify opportunities for service expansion, contribute to tenders, and support the scalability of the new business unit as it grows.
- Health, Safety, and Environmental Compliance: Ensure adherence to health, safety, and environmental regulations. Monitor and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) related to compliance and operational efficiency.
- Continuous Improvement: Leverage smart technology and water treatment expertise to innovate and optimise service delivery processes for both domestic water systems and cooling towers, enhancing our core competencies in closed system management.
