Shape one of the UK's most significant infrastructure programmes
At Anglian Water, we're delivering something extraordinary. The Reservoirs Programme will create two new multi-billion-pound reservoirs, the Fens Reservoir and the Lincolnshire Reservoir, securing water supplies for future generations across the East of England. Together, these projects represent the largest and most complex infrastructure schemes ever undertaken by Anglian Water and are amongst the most significant water infrastructure investments in the UK. The programme is currently progressing through the Development Consent Order process, with future delivery expected to exceed £5 billion.
This is a rare opportunity to join at a pivotal stage and help shape a project that will leave a lasting legacy for communities, the environment and future generations.
As our Client Design & Engineering Manager, you'll be at the heart of programme decision-making, providing strategic technical leadership across a complex portfolio of engineering, design and constructability activities.
Working client-side, you'll provide oversight and assurance of our Programme Delivery Partner's design and engineering function, ensuring technical excellence, programme outcomes and value for money are achieved. You'll influence major decisions, guide technical strategy and ensure that the solutions being developed today will stand the test of time for decades to come.
You'll work alongside multidisciplinary teams spanning programme delivery, consenting, planning, land, environment, commercial, procurement and stakeholder management, helping drive progress through one of the most challenging and rewarding infrastructure programmes in the sector.
Why this role is different
Few opportunities allow you to influence infrastructure at this scale. You'll be helping deliver nationally significant projects that will improve climate resilience, support regional growth, protect the environment and secure water resources for millions of customers.
This isn't just about engineering excellence. It's about creating infrastructure that future generations will depend upon. You will have visibility at the highest levels of programme governance, influence major technical decisions and help define how some of the UK's most important water infrastructure will be designed and delivered.
We're looking for an experienced engineering leader who thrives in complex, high-profile environments and can bring strategic thinking alongside deep technical expertise. You'll have:

Water is essential to life, and the decisions we make today will impact generations to come.
