Together with our extended supply chain we are working to deliver 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 capital works programme larger than we’ve ever delivered before.

Digital and Training

Use digital technology to drive innovation and efficiency.

Provide training and guidance on Town & Country Planning and Environmental matters.

Help develop and mentor the Town & Country Planning team and support attainment of RTPI chartership.

A little bit about your skills, experience and behaviours….

To be considered for this role, you will be degree education and a member of RTPI (or eligible to join). You will have solid experience of working in a Town & Country Planning position in the public or private sector and be competent at decision making on complex and controversial projects. You will need to be a multi-tasker with the ability to work flexibly across several project, meeting deadlines, working autonomously without direct supervision. You will have advanced skills in writing and reviewing detailed technical reports, and ideally have experience of submitting Town and Country Planning applications. You will also have experience of the EIA process.
