Hiring across the UK water supply chain.

No other recruitment consultancy is as dedicated to the water industry as Murray McIntosh. With over 10 years’ experience, we are embedded across the UK water sector, working closely with frameworks, industry bodies, and the full supply chain. This gives us unrivalled insight into the hiring and skills challenges businesses face at every level.

As an SME ourselves, we understand the pressures on small and mid-sized businesses, particularly the uncertainty of operating within the water supply chain. Projects can be delayed, reshaped, or cancelled with little notice, forcing difficult decisions on resourcing. Balancing cost, readiness, and delivery is a constant challenge for our clients.

We find highly skilled, innovative professionals with expertise across clean and wastewater projects, Environmental/Rivers, Infrastructure, Major Capital, and Strategic projects, helping businesses gain a competitive edge through their people.

Our services include recruitment solutions for permanent and interim hires, supported by specialised tools, live market intelligence, and advisory insight shaped by years inside the sector. Our network and data inform every placement, ensuring you meet both strategic and operational goals with confidence.
