You will also play a key role in establishing and growing client and partner relationships, capturing project knowledge and innovations, and promoting the MEICA team’s capabilities both internally and externally. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to sustainable water infrastructure and environmental protection in the face of climate change and urbanization challenges.
