* Lead Major Pursuits – Take accountability for high‑profile pursuits, from positioning through to successful bid delivery. Ensure AECOM’s proposals are compelling, commercially sound, and aligned with client needs.
* Foster Innovation – Understand emerging industry challenges and opportunities, introducing creative and forward‑thinking solutions that excite clients and differentiate AECOM.
* Collaborate & Empower – Work across technical, commercial, and operational teams to bring the best of AECOM to clients. Support delivery teams with smooth handovers to ensure excellence in execution.
* Strengthen Market Presence – Play a central role in building AECOM’s brand and reputation across the water sector, ensuring we remain a market leader and trusted partner.
The Team
The AECOM Water team has a significant market presence across the UK and Ireland, with a network of around 600 professionals delivering projects at every scale. We have a healthy pipeline of work with clients including Anglian Water, Severn Trent Water, Wessex Water, and South West Water.
