We play a vital role in helping the company achieve its strategic goals by providing a wide range of services—from statutory compliance, facilities and estate management to project delivery and technical support. Our portfolio also includes fleet and logistics management, plant services, and champions continuous learning and development. Collaboration and high standards are at the heart of everything we do.

Join our team and play a key role in supporting the financial and commercial performance of Capital Projects at Anglian Water.

Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting for capital (and where appropriate, operational) projects. Support accruals, work order closures, and ensure compliance with Purchase-to-Pay processes. Maintain accurate data in financial systems (SAP) and ensure supplier payments are processed in line with contractual terms.
Performance Monitoring
Track and report on contractor and programme performance against KPIs. Attend site meetings to support output validation and ensure timely delivery. Contribute to audits and work closely with internal and external stakeholders to ensure service delivery standards are consistently met or exceeded.

Familiarity with budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting processes
Experience working with capital finance and governance procedures
High level of numeracy, financial awareness, and attention to detail
Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel
Knowledge of procurement and sourcing processes
Experience engaging and communicating with a wide range of stakeholders
Working knowledge of key systems such as SAP, Power BI, M2i, and P2P processes
Relevant Health & Safety awareness or qualifications

Understanding of water supply and water recycling processes is advantageous

Why Apply?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join Anglian Water as a Cost Manager, where you’ll play a vital role in delivering high-value capital projects that directly impact the environment and the communities we serve. You’ll work at the heart of our commercial and delivery teams, shaping how we manage budgets, forecasts, and supplier performance across a diverse and evolving project portfolio.

You'll gain hands-on experience with NEC contracts, financial systems like SAP, and industry-leading practices—while working alongside experienced professionals who are passionate about collaboration, sustainability, and innovation.

At Anglian Water, we offer more than just a job. We’re committed to supporting your development, recognising your contributions, and helping you grow professionally.
