Anglian Water offers a flexible approach, this role provides you the flexibility to work from home and from an Anglian Water office. Your base location could be in our Peterborough, Huntingdon or Lincoln office (depending on your location), with an expectation of 2-3 days in the office.

Join us in shaping the future of Anglian Water’s infrastructure.

As our Asset Reporting Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping how Anglian Water understands and manages its assets. Leading a team of experts, you’ll ensure the business has accurate, insightful, and timely asset reporting — from internal decision-making dashboards to regulatory submissions. Your work will directly influence maintenance strategies, investment planning, and the allocation of resources across the organisation.

You’ll take ownership of our external reporting to the economic regulator, ensuring all submissions comply with the Regulatory Accounting Guidelines (RAG) and feed into our Annual Performance Report (APR). Your focus will be on asset-related elements of the APR — such as lengths of mains and sewers, and the number of bursts and collapses — data that also supports internal teams in prioritising resources.

Your expertise will help guide key stakeholders, contribute to industry-wide consistency projects, and drive innovation in how we capture, analyse, and present asset data.

This role requires close collaboration with master data managers and core systems such as SAP PM, GIS, and IRIS, ensuring all reporting is auditable, accurate, and withstands external scrutiny. If you’re passionate about turning data into insight and leading a high-performing team to deliver excellence in asset reporting, this is your opportunity to make a real impact.

What you’ll be doing:

As Asset Reporting Manager, you’ll lead the delivery of high-quality, insightful asset reporting that drives informed decision-making across Anglian Water. You’ll be responsible for external regulatory reporting, ensuring submissions meet all requirements, comply with Regulatory Accounting Guidelines (RAG), and withstand audit scrutiny.

Internally, you’ll provide regular dashboards, data extracts, and analysis to support governance, strategic programmes, incident response, and operational planning. You’ll turn complex datasets into actionable insights, helping the business understand asset performance, identify efficiency opportunities, and flag assets at risk of premature failure.

You’ll also ensure strong reporting governance, maintaining data quality, adherence to policies, and continual improvement of processes and systems.

As a team leader, you’ll manage, coach, and develop a high-performing team of around 10, promoting collaboration, accountability, and a culture of excellence. You’ll ensure workloads are managed effectively, performance is recognised, and employees are empowered to make intelligent, data-driven decisions.

In short, you’ll combine technical expertise, strategic insight, and leadership skills to provide trusted asset intelligence that supports both day-to-day operations and long-term business planning.

As a valued employee, you’ll be entitled to:

• 26 days annual leave – rising with length of service

• Private Healthcare

• Competitive pension scheme – Anglian Water double-matches your contributions up to 6%

• Bonus scheme

• Flexible benefits to support your wellbeing and lifestyle

What does it take to be successful?

We’re looking for a strategic and highly organised leader with excellent communication and stakeholder management skills. You’ll be confident in managing, developing, and steering a high-performing team, with the ability to challenge existing practices and introduce more effective ways of working. You’ll have a strong analytical mindset, able to manage and interpret complex data to generate actionable insights that drive performance. Ideally, you’ll have relevant professional qualifications or membership of a professional body, experience with asset management reporting (including the Annual Performance Report), and proficiency in systems such as SAP, Power BI, ArcGIS, and Microsoft Office tools.

Why Anglian Water?

Join Anglian Water as an Asset Reporting Manager and take a leading role in turning complex data into insights that drive real business impact. You’ll lead a high-performing team, influence key decisions, and shape both internal and regulatory reporting for a critical national infrastructure business. This is your chance to make a difference, drive innovation in reporting and data management, and build a career in a supportive, forward-thinking environment.
