We are gearing up for our most exciting and challenging Asset Management Period yet, known as AMP8, this will see us deliver a programme of work larger than we’ve ever delivered before. We’ll be embarking on a new kind of project delivery focusing on nature-based solutions like wetlands and urban drainage schemes.

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 built for career progression.

With AMP8 now underway, we’re driving the most ambitious and innovative investment period yet—and we’re on the lookout for passionate, experienced Senior Process Engineers to lead the charge in designing sustainable water and water recycling solutions across the East of England.

What You’ll Do

As a Senior Process Engineer, you’ll take on a leadership role within our Place-Based Thinking team, guiding and supporting teams across a portfolio of non-infrastructure water and water recycling projects. You’ll bring expert knowledge, mentorship, and oversight to ensure our designs are technically sound, sustainable, and aligned with both industry best practice and Anglian Water’s goals.

Your Responsibilities Will Include

• Leading and reviewing process design deliverables across a range of projects.
• Checking P&IDs (Process and Instrumentation Diagrams), calculations, and 3D models for accuracy, quality, safety, and compliance.
• Providing engineering technical direction to process engineers across your region.
• Driving low-carbon, sustainable design thinking into all aspects of process development.
• Supporting the development and implementation of design alerts and lessons learned.
• Ensuring designs comply with internal and external regulations and standards.
• Collaborating closely with Principal Engineers, Portfolio Design Managers, and multidisciplinary teams to deliver value-focused, fit-for-purpose solutions.
• Mentoring and coaching junior engineers, fostering technical development across the team.
• Participating in site visits as needed to assess process performance and validate design.
• Presenting learnings and innovations across the Alliance to share knowledge and promote continuous improvement.
• Embracing and promoting digital design technologies and data-driven processes.
