Summary
About the @one Alliance
The Anglian Water @one Alliance is a totally collaborative organisation made up of seven partner companies (Anglian Water, SWECO, Balfour Beatty, Barhale, MMB, MWH Treatment, and Skanska) and an extended supply chain, delivering over half of Anglian Water’s capital investment programme.
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 such an exciting portfolio of projects planned for AMP8 to keep the water flowing across the region, our ability to manage our work and outperform against our customer’s expectations will come under greater scrutiny.
Come and join us to earn while you learn!
Within Anglian Water and our alliances, we believe in doing the right thing for the environment and the planet. By working within the Alliance you will be helping us to create a sustainable future for decades to come.
An Apprenticeship with us is your chance to get a career for life. You’ll gain valuable work experience, achieve a fantastic qualification, all whilst getting paid for it!
What’s in it for you?
A BSc (Hons) Civil Engineering.
A full-time job at the end of your apprenticeship (subject to performance and behavioural reviews).
Competitive annual leave.
Competitive pension scheme.
An extensive range of retail discounts and benefits.
What is a Civil Engineer?
There are a number of sub-disciplines within the broad field of civil engineering. Generally civil engineers work closely with surveyors and specialised civil engineers to design and specify drainage, cross site pipework, pipelines, liquid-retaining structures, buildings/kiosks, roads, footpaths, earthworks (dams, banks, swales, etc), tunnels, and caissons to name but a few.
As a Civil Engineer Degree Apprentice you will develop capability in the following key accountabilities: Design Excellence, Health & Safety, Project Management / Site Surveys, Collaboration and Transformation. Our Civil Engineers spit their time between the above accountabilities but one of their biggest tasks is Design. This can be anything from delivering clean and waste water design projects to reading drawings, model reviews and producing clean and concise sketches to be incorporated into 3D models.
As an Apprentice, you’ll join initially on a Level 4 Senior Civil Engineering Technician Apprenticeship with the option to progress onto a Level 6 Civil Engineering Degree Apprenticeship, attending university weekly alongside working as part of the Engineering team at Anglian Water. The whole process will take approximately 5 years.
To be successful as an Apprentice with us you will require:
Up to three A-levels or equivalent qualifications one being an A-level grade C equivalent in Maths (120 UCAS Tariff points) OR DMM from BTEC National Diploma (18 Units) in an Engineering subject*; OR Merit from T-level in Design, Surveying and Planning for Construction; OR A successfully completed Level 3 Apprenticeship as a Civil Engineering Technician.
English and Maths GCSE minimum grade 4 (C).
The ability to be proactive and able to adapt to change.
A willingness to learn.
Good communication skills.
*Applicants must gain Merit grades in both the Mathematics for Technicians AND Further Mathematics for Technicians units if they do not have a grade C in A-level Mathematics
Next Steps
Once we receive your application we will assess your eligibility for the role, if you are successful, we will send you an invite to attend an assessment day in Peterborough on Wednesday, 5 June.
