• A track record of leading and delivering multiple solutions to air quality challenges, being able to articulate the benefits and shortfalls of each to the client, taking into consideration other disciplines requirements within these solutions.
• Development of air quality service offer in regard to technical quality/capacity, service offers and business development;
• Previous line management and mentoring experience
• Technical leadership for the air quality service line, including having final responsibility for the sign off of work;
