We’re the @one Alliance – a ground-breaking collaboration between Anglian Water and seven industry-leading partners: Balfour Beatty, Barhale, Binnies, MMB, MWH Treatment, Skanska and SWECO. Together, we deliver over half of Anglian Water’s capital investment programme.

Working in AMP8 , our most ambitious period yet, we’ll be delivering an even broader range of innovative and environmentally-driven infrastructure projects – from urban drainage to nature-based solutions like constructed wetlands.

• Make informed decisions by understanding the commercial impact of what we do. We focus on delivering value, using resources wisely, and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency.

• Develop tools to ensure compliance with H&S legislation and business procedures

• At Anglian Water, we believe our people are our greatest asset.
