• liaise with housing developers as a central point of contact for drainage and water supply issues on all aspects of new development
• interact with local councils, the public and other external stakeholders

You will be joining a busy team, where we support one another and work closely to make sure our customers are satisfied. Therefore, you will need to be able to stay organised and effective under pressure, prioritising workloads to meet our high standards of service. You will also:

Due to the nature of this role and the requirement to travel to and from sites, it is essential that you hold a valid driving licence.
