Job Description:
Randstad is currently partnering with one of the UK's fastest-growing, private equity-backed safety and compliance consultancies. Following continuous expansion and strategic acquisition, they are looking to appoint an experienced Water Hygiene Account Manager to lead, develop, and expand a dedicated portfolio of regional and national accounts.
This is a key commercial and technical role for a high-performing account manager who wants to step away from transactional sales and take true commercial ownership of blue-chip client portfolios across commercial, public sector, and healthcare estates.
Why Join This Business?- The water hygiene division is led by an industry-renowned former client lead and is positioned for explosive growth as the business transitions into multidisciplinary regional hubs.
- Because the business provides complete building compliance (including asbestos, air hygiene, fire safety, and occupational health), account managers have warm, pre-approved avenues to cross-sell services into major existing accounts.
- They have completely done away with door-to-door travel tracking-average travel time is calculated and integrated directly into your base salary to eliminate administrative friction.
- The business prides itself on low staff turnover and promoting from within (with senior directors having progressed from field and administrative roles over 15-20 year tenures).
Key Responsibilities- Act as the primary point of contact for key client accounts, conducting regular performance reviews, monitoring SLAs/KPIs, and ensuring total client satisfaction.
- Provide expert advice across water hygiene, legionella control, and water treatment compliance in line with ACoP L8, HSG274, and BS 8580 standards.
- Identify upselling and cross-selling opportunities across wider compliance services, prepare technical proposals, negotiate commercial terms, and secure contract renewals.
- Work alongside operational teams, risk assessors, and water chemists to ensure sampling regimes, monitoring schedules, and remedial works are delivered accurately and profitably.
What We Are Looking For- Proven experience in commercial account management, technical sales, or client relationship management within water hygiene, water treatment, or environmental compliance.
- Strong working knowledge of water compliance legislation (ACoP L8, HSG274, BS 8580).
- Strong commercial acumen with experience managing account P&L, contract renewals, and proposal writing.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to build long-term relationships with Facilities Managers, Estates Directors, and Duty Holders.
- Full UK Driving Licence.
The Package & Benefits- Performance-related bonus scheme linked to account retention and portfolio growth.
- 25 days annual leave + 8 Bank Holidays (increasing with length of service).
- Health & Well-being: Westfield Health cashback plan (covering dental and optical care), Stakeholder Pension, Life Assurance, Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), and salary sacrifice options.
