Through brilliant design thinking, powerful partners, and impatience to make what we do matter, our mission is to transform industries through technology that empowers customers and protects the planet.
We pride ourselves on our amazing technology and passion for wanting to change things, but fundamentally what we are most proud of is our people.

You will take the technical and practical lead of conducting testing with customers to support the Commercial Team in driving revenue growth. You will also be the technical and practical lead at customer’s sites with respect to installation and commissioning of Matter equipment. Some maintenance actions and post commissioning support/troubleshooting will also play a key role in customer success.
You will be responsible for the planning of such testing and work closely with our Commercial and Engineering teams to ensure successful outcomes with the customer.
Key to this role is practical experience in the operation and maintenance of wastewater treatment equipment, or similar industrial solutions.
Key to success in this role is working closely with customers to understand their needs and how we can help add value. You will be a self-motivated problem solver with strong engineering experience.
