Looking for a graduate role with real responsibility, client exposure and long-term progression?
Clifford Talbot Partnership is a specialist utility consultancy that has been helping businesses manage their electricity, gas and water accounts for over 40 years. As our Utility Bureau team continues to grow, we are looking for a Graduate Account Manager to join us in our Yate office.
