Our team

Sian Rogerson

Commission Performance Team

From day one I have felt like a valued member of the Aqua family, everyone is friendly, approachable and always willing to help. No two days are the same in the Commission Performance team and opportunities to get involved in different aspects of the business are always available. As a Project Manager it’s been reassuring to see everyone pull together as a team to deliver multidisciplinary projects on time and to budget to offer our clients the best value for money.

Colum Goodchild

Director of Asset Management

The team at Aqua are lively, diverse in their thinking and have a lot of experience and insight to bring. I really enjoy working with a wide range of organisations and with different members of the Aqua team to help create change – reducing costs and improving services in the organisations we support. We have good working relationships with our customers and it’s great to know that we are the ones they call up when they need to get something done. We move quickly to deliver at pace.

Laura Keay

Engineering Team

I really enjoy working at Aqua. It is a diverse team in a fast paced and a varied project environment. No two days are the same! I am excited to utilise both my technical expertise and develop my project management skills to help Aqua achieve their ambitious goals to be a major player in the water industry. The team are supportive and knowledgeable, with a great focus on client satisfaction and quick project turnarounds. Aqua also really cares about its staff and its culture and it’s not all work, as the weekly Aqua Family calls demonstrate – as we’ve had spaghetti and marshmallow tower competitions and features on Aqua musical talents! It’s a great place to work where if you want to get involved in a different side of things you can – Aqua is where your world is your oyster!

Naresh Patel

Aqua has provided me the autonomy to develop my role and interests, finding solutions to the key issues impacting the environment, society and our clients. Since joining as a graduate, I’ve been fortunate to directly work with and learn from colleagues across the business including senior leadership. We forge, strong, genuine client relationships and get to the heart of the problem.
