Business Development & Major Projects Manager

This is a new senior role focused on identifying and securing profitable, recurring business across liquid waste and potable water services. You'll develop new client relationships, manage and grow existing relationships, and work directly with the Directors to coordinate selected major projects. The primary focus is identifying quality opportunities that make sense for the business, fleet and existing operations, while opening doors, developing relationships and working with site teams, project managers, procurement teams and senior decision-makers.
