Develop and lead Asset Management strategy across key service areas, leveraging expertise in condition assessment, rehabilitation, system dynamics, optimisation, data analytics, urban drainage, and water quality.

Build and maintain trusted client relationships, serving as a senior point of contact for asset management services.

Grow a robust pipeline of asset management work, enabling the development of team capability and capacity in line with business demand.

Drive strong commercial outcomes, with a focus on delivering higher-than-average margins and increasing year-on-year revenue.

Personally deliver strategic advisory services and provide oversight to project teams as Project Director.
