• Collaborate with clients to understand asset management challenges, organizational priorities, operational constraints, and long-term infrastructure objectives.
• Lead or support strategic advisory, asset management, digital strategy, business process improvement, improved decision making, and change management engagements for water utilities and other asset-intensive organizations.
• Bridge across multiple Arup service areas to develop integrated solutions that combine asset management consulting, technical advisory, digital, operational, and organizational expertise.

• Build trusted client relationships through curiosity, collaborative problem solving, sound judgment, and a partnership-oriented consulting style.
• Grow and cultivate client relationships across water, transportation, and other infrastructure markets, including leading or supporting work-winning activities, proposal efforts, market engagement, and collaboration with regional business development leaders.
• Develop and maintain strong internal and external networks that support client continuity, regional growth, and access to Arup’s broader advisory and technical capabilities.
