- Seek more business from existing clients, offer technical expertise for business development, and innovate service offerings; ensuring Net Zero is baked in.
- Enhance our partnership with our Global Technical Centre in India for better service delivery.
Key requirements:
- A leader who excels at motivating teams, welcomes innovation and inspiring growth.
- Quick to establish credibility and build relationships with senior industry figures and within Atkins, communicating effectively across all levels.
- Has a history of successfully managing the design phase of large projects, with a knack for expanding client relationships and securing new projects.
- Demonstrates strong project management and business skills, taking charge of project teams, finances, and client communications.
- Informed about new trends, technologies, and best practices to keep us ahead in our markets.
- Holds Chartered Status.
Please note: We have advertised this role as Associate Director to reflect what the market will expect of the job title, however, internally, we call the role "Practice Manager" so you will see that during the application process.
