Who We Are

Whitewater Group is a leading provider of innovative and sustainable water treatment engineering systems operating in Ireland, UK and across Europe in the Data Centre, Pharma, Power and Industrial sectors. We specialize in designing, installing, commissioning, and maintaining water treatment solutions to meet our clients' specific needs. Our team is dedicated to delivering high-quality, cost-effective engineering solutions that prioritize safety, reliability, and environmental sustainability.

Whitewater Group is headquartered in Ireland and operates from European bases in Spain, Sweden, Italy and UK, with plans for further offices to open in Germany, Denmark and Finland. The Group is experiencing significant growth due to its focus on off-site construction methods (OSM) of delivering turnkey projects, meaning on-site construction time is kept to a minimum.

The Head of Procurement and Supply Chain is responsible for leading and optimizing the company’s supply chain activities — including procurement, logistics, and expediting — to ensure the efficient and cost-effective delivery of materials and equipment for water treatment plant projects.

The role ensures that all purchasing activities and supplier performances fully align with project requirements, through close coordination with the Engineering, Project Management and Quality departments. This position is instrumental in securing technically compliant, on-time, and cost-effective supplies that meet the company’s standards of excellence.
