Engineering is a crucial part of our ambitious business plans. We rely on engineers to deliver our investments for the future. That’s why we’re looking for experienced Engineers with the right skills, to help us on our journey to bring social and environmental prosperity to the region we serve.
As a Project Engineer, you will oversee the various stages of development for projects, preparing procedures and completing reports, ensuring progression and efficiency. Generally, the team of Project Engineers will get involved at every level of the project from proposals to operations.
Our Technical Engineers are at the core of our teams across Anglian Water covering a range of roles and areas. We have teams of engineers focused on, what some might consider, “traditional” engineering; designing and implementing projects to improve how our systems operate, by installing and configuring new assets. Some of our engineers specialise in hydraulics, where others may not be specialists but deliver their strength across some of our innovative projects, data science and driving us towards automation and remote-controlled assets. There is great breadth within our Technical Engineering operation but they all support each other towards our goals around energy saving, carbon reduction and efficiency.
Integrated Maintenance Engineering
Our Operational Engineers are key in monitoring and controlling the process of cleaning water, making it safe to drink and supplying it back to our customers and the environment better
than we found it. Our end-to-end process involves taking water from the environment through our reservoirs, rivers or boreholes. From there it’s pumped to our sites where we begin the process of treating the water to high standards, before putting it back into supply.
Day to day this involves operating pumping equipment and reacting to changes in water quality. Our process also involves treating the water with chemicals and our engineers use computers to release chemicals from storage tanks. Our Operational Engineers will need to maintain our sites, while working alongside our technicians.
Operational Maintenance
Operational Maintenance are responsible for the planned and reactive operation and maintenance (electrical, mechanical and instrument) of circa 6500 pumping and vacuum stations. This team provide electrical, mechanical and instrument planned and reactive maintenance services to 1,124 water recycling centres. Our Maintenance Technicians are first response to all pumping and vacuum station alarms along with planned electrical, mechanical and instrument maintenance. Integrated Maintenance Engineering also provides an electrical, mechanical and instrument planned and reactive service to all our Water Recycling Centres and Sludge Treatment Centres.
The Smart Water Systems Team embraces systems thinking to understand and visualise the current performance of the Water Supply System from “Source to Tap”, connecting our people, our processes and our assets. The team is focused on the identification of opportunities for improvement, developing and deploying innovative, disruptive and digital solutions to deliver outstanding outcomes for our customers, the environment and our people.
We currently have a fantastic opportunity to apply for a Maintenance Technician role within Anglian Water! This role is challenging but varied. If you like to improve yourself and be active this could be the role for you! Please watch our video for more information!
Our Strategic Optimisation Team is led by Katherine Dobbs and is focused on exploring modern technologies and innovations to discover the art of the possible when it comes to enhancing the way in which our knowledge, processes and technology is utilised across the business. This is carried out across the entire Water Recycling system with us having dedicated teams looking at Process, Network and Technology advancements.
At Anglian Water, we are working with our engineers to identify and create the conditions for smart technology to be successful in the short and long term. This means having the right enabling technology, processes, data, culture, and skills in place and helping our people to adapt to digitally enabled ways of working. Why is this important? Well, we want to give our people the right information at the right time to support decision making and to build a better-connected organisation to make life easier for our people. We have many exciting engineering initiatives happening within this programme including the designing of digital twins for our Strategic Pipeline Alliance and Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant Relocation Project.
