Join the @one Alliance

The @one Alliance is a collaboration of eight industry-leading companies (Anglian Water, Balfour Beatty, Barhale, Binnies, MMB, MWH Treatment, Skanska, and SWECO) delivering over half of Anglian Water’s capital investment programme. With AMP8 ahead, we’re preparing for our biggest challenge yet: delivering an ambitious programme of projects that will shape the future of water infrastructure.

Are you passionate about sustainable drainage and nature-based solutions (NbS)?

Do you want to help create healthier, more resilient communities across the Anglian Water region? Join our SuDS Engineering team and turn that passion into impact.

Role Overview: SuDS Solutions Engineer

As a SuDS Solutions Engineer, you'll play a vital role in developing and delivering innovative SuDS and NbS schemes – from the early optioneering phase through to construction. Whether designing swales alongside highways, reimagining schoolyards with rain gardens, or enhancing public spaces for biodiversity, this is your chance to make a difference.

What will you be doing?

1. Scope, assess, and deliver SuDS opportunities in urban, rural, and public realm settings.
2. Work closely with stakeholders – from local authorities to community groups – to co-create solutions.
3. Use GIS, spatial data, and topographic insights to inform sustainable design.
4. Support projects from feasibility through to construction, including site visits and design input.
5. Collaborate across the alliance – design, CAD, enabling, construction, ecology & more.
6. Contribute to design excellence, health & safety, and environmental best practices.
7. Champion innovation and smarter ways of working in stormwater management.

What we’re looking for

Bring your knowledge of drainage, love for green infrastructure, and confidence in working with others to a role where your voice matters – and your ideas become reality. Whether you’re experienced or developing your career in SuDS, you’ll be welcomed into a collaborative, values-led team committed to sustainable transformation.

Why Join the Alliance?

• Sustainability-first: Work on nature-based solutions like wetlands and sustainable drainage.
• Career growth: Lead a high-performing team and shape the future of water recycling infrastructure.
• Collaborative culture: Work alongside top experts in an environment that fosters innovation and inclusion.
• Be part of something bigger: United through purpose, shaping the future, and making a difference.
