Project Coordinator - Regulated Water, Manchester The UK water industry is on the brink of its most exciting transformation in decades. With major new investment and the Independent Water Commission's recent review, the sector is entering a once in a generation era of change-creating huge opportunities to rethink how water and wastewater services are delivered.
