An Overview Of The Role
As part of this growth in demand, we are seeking an experienced senior leader to join our team of highly talented consultants, working on the pursuit and delivery of digital transformation consulting services in the Water sector as well as providing subject matter expertise, capability development and intellectual capital.

As a result, we are seeing a significant increase in demand for our teams who are already working with major utilities organisations. We have built a successful track record of delivering leading edge transformational digital change which is adopted and embedded into our water clients, but we are looking to further strengthen our dominant position. Capgemini brings to bear vast utilities experience, a strong business improvement skillset, business change capability, an understanding of technology and a highly collaborative approach.
