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.

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!
