About the Opportunity:
Within the UK water sector, we are leading innovators. We are at the forefront of the delivery of the sector's Net Zero ambitions, and are developing new markets with our clients and their regulators, driving customer value. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the emerging Bioresources sector, an area which is undergoing transformational regulatory, economic and technological change.
We see a fantastic opportunity to further grow our Bioresources services! We want to generate more energy, recover more useful products as a part of a circular economy, embrace new commercial models that support our Net Zero ambitions and create exciting new markets in the process.
