About the Role

Based in Manchester, you’ll join a dynamic and expanding team delivering a broad range of air quality services.

You’ll lead and deliver air quality, odour, greenhouse gas and indoor/ambient monitoring projects, while playing an active role in project management, client engagement, quality assurance and business growth. This role offers the chance to shape the technical direction of the team and make a real impact on the company's future.
