• Technical communication: Produce clear, evidence-based reports, fee proposals and tenders, translating complex findings into practical client advice.
• Client relationships and business development: Build strong client partnerships, identify opportunities and contribute to winning work and growing the team.
• Collaboration, safety and leadership: Work proactively across Tetra Tech and its sister companies, promote health, safety and security, and support colleagues in delivering shared objectives.
