About the Role

The Anglian Water @one Alliance is a collaborative organization made up of eight partner companies and an extended supply chain, delivering over half of Anglian Water's capital investment programme.

We are gearing up for our most exciting and challenging Asset Management Period yet, known as AMP8, which will see us deliver a programme of work larger than we've ever delivered before.

We are driving change, empowering us to set global benchmarks and build a better environment, with the opportunity to offer enhanced growth and development to our workforce. We're looking to build on our existing teams with an environment built for career progression.

With such an exciting portfolio of projects planned for AMP8 to keep the water flowing across the region, our ability to manage our work and outperform against our customer's expectations will come under greater scrutiny.

We need aspiring driven talent to help us achieve our ambitious targets, and we're looking for a Lead Electrical Engineer to join our Water team.

About You
