Key skills for this role
As part of Anglian Water’s ambitious draft Water Resources Management Plan 2024, we’re facing into a stark reality — by 2050, we could have 38% less water to meet customer demand. In response, we’re developing a transformative programme of desalination and advanced water recycling, with projects set to go live as early as 2034.
These cutting-edge technologies are new to Anglian Water, and we’re looking for passionate, forward-thinking environmental professionals to help shape them from the ground up.
Reporting to the Senior Consents and Environment Manager, the Environmental Lead will drive the environmental strategy for these future supply options — developing robust scopes, reviewing and challenging technical proposals, and ensuring programmes stay on track and deliver genuine impact. You’ll lead international collaboration, chair steering groups, and engage with global experts to ensure we apply the best ideas and innovation to deliver world-class outcomes.
If you’re ready to influence some of the most critical environmental projects of our time — we want to hear from you.
