Wint is transforming how buildings manage water.

• High ownership mentality - takes problems to resolution without waiting to be asked

Govern & Build Processes

• Operate within the policy and process framework set by VP Operations and the HQ Support Manager

Manage IT & Administration

• Oversee local IT operations, system access and day-to-day admin for the region
