Project Manager

Who are we?

Here within the Anglian Water @one Alliance we are a totally collaborative organisation made up of our eight partner companies (Anglian Water, Balfour Beatty, Barhale, Binnies, MMB, MWH Treatment, Skanska and SWECO) and our extended supply chain, working together 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 AMP 8, this 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 for career progression.

As we move into this exciting and challenging period for the Water industry, it is essential our commercial and cost management processes and practices remain industry- leading to ensure we not only deliver but outperform against our objectives and customer expectations, and it is vital we constantly oversee our performance and ways of working to ensure we are delivering the best service to our customers.

To do that we need aspiring driven talent to help us achieve our ambitious targets, Project Managers are key to our success - are you ready to join us as we prepare to deliver the most creative and innovative AMP we have ever seen?
