You will have the chance to take real ownership of projects, shape how we work with stakeholders, and play a crucial role in delivering healthier, cleaner waters.

  • Flexible working arrangements

  • The opportunity to lead meaningful, visible projects

  • Professional development opportunities

  • A real chance to help shape a growing environmental charity
