Looking to move into a client-focused role where your technical knowledge is genuinely valued? This is a great opportunity to step away from purely hands-on work and into a position focused on client management, retention and growth.

You’ll be joining a well-established, privately owned compliance business with a strong reputation in the water hygiene and Legionella sector. Known for their client-first approach, they work closely with organisations across commercial, healthcare, education and public sector environments — focusing on long-term partnerships rather than transactional service delivery.

The Role

A client-facing position focused on managing and developing existing accounts, ensuring high levels of service delivery and identifying opportunities to grow relationships.

This is not a cold sales role — it’s about building trust, retaining business and using your technical knowledge to naturally identify additional work.

Responsibilities include:

• Managing a portfolio of water hygiene / Legionella clients
• Acting as the main point of contact for client queries and support
• Conducting review meetings and ensuring service delivery standards are met
• Identifying upsell and cross-sell opportunities across services
• Liaising with internal teams to coordinate works and resolve issues
• Providing technical guidance and compliance support to clients

What They’re Looking For

• Background in Legionella risk assessing, water hygiene or water treatment
• Strong understanding of compliance and water systems
• Experience in a client-facing, supervisory or senior engineering role (or ready to step into one)
• Commercial awareness with the ability to spot opportunities
• Full UK driving licence

What’s On Offer

• £50,000 basic salary
• OTE £65,000+ (uncapped commission on upselling & cross-selling)
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Hybrid working
• Company car / allowance
• Pension scheme
• Clear progression into senior account management or leadership roles
• Supportive, well-structured environment
• Opportunity to move away from heavy site work into a more strategic, client-led role
