Meet The Team!

In the next installment of our Meet the Team series, we get to know our Waste Water Operations Manager, Simon Taylor.

My name is…

Simon Taylor, Waste Water Operations Manager at Leep Utilities.

I’m responsible for…

My job sees me responsible for managing the Waste Water side of the business. In my current role, I manage the implementation of sewage and drain systems on Leep’s most recent sites.

My typical day…

My day can see me travel across the country for site visits and inspections – it can make for a very varied working week. That said, I do always try and start my morning by reading through my emails, before getting in the car. I work with a really wide array of sites, so it is great to have the chance to physically be on site to meet with the client.

The best part of my job…

I’ve worked in the waste water industry for over 30 years and have always been grateful for the opportunity to get out from behind my desk. My current role offers me huge variety in what I’m doing day-to-day and is challenging but hugely rewarding.

If I could share one piece of advice…

I have always tried to treat developers, consultants and customers the way I would like to be treated. In our industry, referrals and repeat business are so important, it is vital we are building and maintaining positive working relationships.

When I’m not working I’m….

Being active, I love paddle boarding and going to gym. In summer I like to play softball and when the weather isn’t so good, I enjoy Ten-pin bowling.

All round, I just really believe that life is to be enjoyed!
