Specialist water sector recruitment
at
The recruiter water companies bring in when a hire really matters — critical roles, at the moments growth depends on getting them right.
Companies we’ve worked with
“Weftec's where the whole water sector gathers under one roof, operators, engineers, founders. I'm looking forward to coming away sharper, and better placed to support the industry through who I bring into it.”
Five days in New Orleans. If you're scaling a water team, planning a critical hire, or just want to talk talent, I'd love to meet.

Building a team?
Let's build your water team together
One search at a time, run inside your process — with the hiring knowledge left behind in your team when it's done.
Embedded partnership
I work inside your process, not alongside twelve other agencies.
Depth over speed
I won't rush a shortlist to hit a deadline. Getting the right person matters more than getting there fast.
Deep sector knowledge
Treatment, membranes, filtration, and industrial water.
Trusted advisor, not just a recruiter
I'm not just filling a role — I'm here to give you the right advice for where your team needs to go next.
Case study
Membrion partnership
“We do a good amount of hiring — almost daily emails from recruiters. What I appreciated was Alex's ability to create a process and really understand the company.”
Seattle, WA
9 hires
A multi-year embedded partnership with Membrion — nine roles filled since the COO's first hire, as the business scaled from early commercial rollout to specialist technical appointments. Built on trust, not transactions.
