Engineering Standards and Products Manager

Location: Peterborough (Hybrid Working – Thorpe Wood House)
Salary: £66000 (Depending on skills and experience)

Our Team

Are you passionate about setting the engineering standards that define how essential infrastructure is designed and delivered? Do you want to play a leadership role in ensuring assets are safe, resilient and deliver long‑term value for customers and the environment?

Over the coming years, Anglian Water will deliver one of the largest capital investment programmes in the UK water sector — nearly £3 billion over the next five years. From new reservoirs and advanced treatment centres to hundreds of miles of pipelines, we are investing in infrastructure that will serve millions of people across the East of England for decades.

Our Asset Standards Team sits at the heart of this programme. We define what “good” looks like by translating business intelligence, operational insight and industry best practice into clear, practical engineering standards. These standards shape every stage of design and delivery — driving safety, consistency, efficiency and sustainability across our capital programme.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced and forward‑thinking Engineering Standards and Products Manager to lead our Standards and Products Team.

As custodian of Anglian Water’s asset standards, you will own the strategic direction, governance and continuous improvement of our Minimum Asset Standards (MAS), Design Manuals and Standard Products. Your work will directly influence how assets are designed, constructed and handed over — balancing cost, carbon, performance, safety and long‑term resilience.

You will lead a team of engineers and specialists, setting clear priorities and providing strong technical leadership. Working across Anglian Water and with our delivery alliances, you will ensure standards are practical, trusted, consistently applied and ready to evolve as technology, regulation and business needs change.

This is a senior technical leadership role with significant influence across the capital delivery lifecycle.
