Peterborough, Peterborough, United Kingdom MWH Treatment Full time


We're looking for a Geoenvironmental Engineer to join our digital delivery team based at Anglian Water in Peterborough, with hybrid working available.

As a Geoenvironmental Engineer, you'll play a key role in assessing, managing, and influencing geoenvironmental risks across our diverse portfolio of water and water recycling projects. You'll support the Principal Geotechnical Engineer and act as a trusted specialist within the geotechnical discipline – ensuring contaminated land risks are understood, mitigated, and effectively integrated into the design journey.

You'll contribute to the development of value-driven, sustainable engineering solutions that reduce carbon, protect natural capital, and support the delivery of safe, affordable, and environmentally responsible infrastructure for the East of England.

What You'll Be Doing


• Consider geoenvironmental constraints at Desk Study stage, informing early project decisions.

• Enable decisions that eliminate or reduce risks from contaminated ground during construction and operation.

• Undertake site visits to assess viability, constraints, and requirements for ground investigation and construction activities.

• Identify and manage specialist geoenvironmental inputs where required.

• Specify ground investigations, including contaminated land testing, gas monitoring, and groundwater monitoring.

• Provide guidance on pipe material selection for potable water based on geoenvironmental conditions.

• Produce interpretive Ground Investigation Reports, including chemical exceedance assessments and implications for construction.

• Produce geoenvironmental risk assessments and develop conceptual site models.

• Ensure alignment between geoenvironmental and geotechnical requirements across all project stages.

• Monitor the performance of ground investigation contractors and provide technical supervision of site works.

• Work collaboratively with project teams and Senior Civil Engineers to deliver outcomes efficiently and affordably.

• Support sustainability by embedding low-carbon, natural-capital-enhancing solutions within geoenvironmental design.

• Contribute to challenging conventional approaches and delivering value-driven outcomes.

• Engage with internal and external stakeholders to obtain acceptance and integrate geoenvironmental considerations.

• Ensure compliance with relevant technical standards, specifications, and CDM requirements.

• Support innovation by contributing to the introduction of new techniques, technologies, and digital approaches.



About You


• A degree in environmental science, geology, earth sciences, or a related subject, with proven experience in land contamination, land quality or environmental science.

• Working towards chartership with a relevant institution (CGeol / CSci).

• Preferable experience of water-sector assets and capital projects.

• Ideally, but not essential, experience in a Design & Build environment.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, able to translate complex information clearly.

• Proven ability to manage your own workload and support multidisciplinary teams.

• A commitment to sustainability, innovation, and continuous improvement.

• Integrity, emotional intelligence, and a collaborative, inclusive approach to working.

• A growth mindset, with an interest in developing both professionally and technically.
