Lucy
Operational Technology Field Apprentice

I’d heard lots of great things about Anglian Water. When leaving school, I knew that I wanted to do an apprenticeship with a reputable company that was going to give me great opportunities long term and that’s exactly what Anglian Water has done.

I’m an Operational Technology Field Apprentice working within the Operational Technology Department. My role enables me to support and monitor the telemetry networks that control operational processes within the business to ensure they run as smoothly as possible.

I started my apprenticeship having done a GCSE in Electronic Products and knew very little about networking and I have enjoyed my time in my apprenticeship, learning lots of new things along the way. Anglian Water is always supportive in any courses or workshops that you want to get involved in.

After my apprenticeship, I plan to continue in my role within Anglian Water to gain a deeper knowledge of the telemetry networks. Eventually, I would like to do an Electrical Engineering HNC to further my studies and have a broad range of knowledge.

My advice for someone applying for an apprenticeship at Anglian Water would be to just be yourself! Show a willingness to learn and grow within your role. Anglian Water doesn’t always want the best but someone who has a positive attitude for new opportunities and shows good potential.

The best thing about my role is that I can earn while I learn and seize new opportunities to progress within the company.

My job is stimulating and challenging which, gives great variety in what I do from day to day. No two days are the same!

Health and safety is paramount at Anglian Water and this has certainly been reflected during the Coronavirus pandemic. I was asked to stay home during the first lockdown but on return to work I have felt safe and supported in the decisions I have taken to keep myself well and healthy at work. Regular business bulletins have helped me to stay up to date with the changes that are being made across the business.

Zake

Zake has been a Test Analyst since joining Anglian Water in 2019. “ My job involves taking ownership of testing to manage, maintain and improve Anglian Water Services test capabilities. I collaborate with project teams to help assure that test procedures and policies are being met”

Lauren
Digital Partner

Lauren is a Digital Partner. She joined in 2014 and has been working as a Digital Partner since 2019. “My job involves exploring strategic improvements and new solutions that help us meet our Performance Commitments and efficiency targets.

Emma
Cyber Security Analyst

Emma is one of our Cyber Security Analysts and joined Anglian Water as part of the Graduate Management Programme. “One of the great things about the Graduate Management Programme was getting to work with different teams and getting a broader understanding what Information Services do and of how our business works as a whole. This broader knowledge has been invaluable in my career and I use it every day in my Cyber role”.
