Key areas of focus:
Strategic programme planning, benefit realisation, and value optimisation
Leadership of high-performing teams and project managers
Stakeholder engagement across partners, suppliers, regulators, and internal teams
Championing sustainability, digital transformation, and innovation
Delivering measurable improvements in environmental outcomes, resilience, and customer value
This is a role with genuine scale and purpose. You'll be enabling a sustainable future for millions of people while tackling climate change head-on.
What You’ll Be Responsible For:
Overseeing complex, high-value projects from business case through to delivery and benefit tracking
Managing risks, interdependencies, resources and budgets across the full programme lifecycle
Leading cross-functional teams, including direct line management of Project Managers
Driving programme governance and performance reporting
Creating a culture of continuous improvement, safety, and collaboration
Building relationships across Anglian Water, the @one Alliance, 3rd parties, and regulators
Identifying new opportunities and shaping the future roadmap of workstreams
What We’re Looking For:
Degree-qualified background in engineering, construction, or quantity surveying
Proven track record in programme management within large infrastructure environments
Strong commercial awareness, leadership experience, and stakeholder influencing skills
Passion for driving sustainable, measurable change
Experience leading multi-disciplinary teams across multiple workstreams
Ability to develop compelling business cases and track delivery of benefits
Desirable:
Experience with recycled water or water-sector assets
Change leadership experience across digital, people or systems programmes
Familiarity with regulated utilities and capital investment cycles
Ready to Shape the Future of Water?
Join a team where collaboration, innovation, and sustainability sit at the heart of everything we do. Be part of something extraordinary with the @one Alliance.
