Job Description

Location: Anglian Water (Various Locations)
Contract: Permanent
Salary: Depending on skills and experience

At Anglian Water, we are driven by our values of collaboration, sustainability, and innovation. Our teams are dedicated to providing high-quality solutions, and we’re now looking for a proactive and innovative Capital Solution Developer to join our Mains Renewal Design and Engineering team — a key part of our Capital Delivery function.

Who We Are

Our Mains Renewal team is responsible for designing, developing, and planning mains replacement projects as part of our capital investment programme. Your work will directly support Anglian Water’s AMP8 strategic goals, driving sustainable solutions that deliver value to our customers and the environment.

What Will You Be Doing as a Capital Solution Developer?

As a Capital Solution Developer, you’ll play a crucial role in identifying risks, opportunities, and innovative solutions across a wide portfolio of water mains replacement schemes. This includes:

  • Conducting holistic assessments of assets and infrastructure to promote investment and identify efficiencies.

  • Developing tailored project solutions, considering environmental constraints, hydraulic modelling, and operational needs.

  • Scoping and enabling schemes by assessing planning risks, environmental factors, and third-party interfaces (e.g., highways).

  • Managing internal and external stakeholder relationships to ensure a smooth transition through each project phase — from investigation and solution development to delivery.

  • Leading investment governance reviews, ensuring strategies align with business objectives and deliver measurable outcomes.

  • Reviewing new construction innovations that enhance efficiency and optimise delivery programmes.

What Attributes Are Required?

We're seeking someone with a balance of technical know-how and collaborative mindset. Ideally, you'll bring:

  • Knowledge of water network operations and/or construction (preferred).

  • Experience in designing, planning, or delivering infrastructure or capital projects.

  • An understanding of cost estimation and investment governance processes.

  • Strong analytical skills with a proven ability to develop and assess risk/benefit solutions.

  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.

  • A forward-thinking approach with a passion for continuous improvement.

Why Anglian Water?
Joining Anglian Water means being part of an organization committed to developing our people, sustainability, and innovation. We offer:

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.

  • Development opportunities and career progression.

  • A focus on work-life balance and wellbeing.

  • A supportive and inclusive work environment.

  • We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity within our teams.

We are an equal opportunity employer and consider all suitably qualified applicants, regardless of gender identity, ethnic origin, nationality, religion, age, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic. We focus on merit and passion for creating better outcomes and are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all colleagues feel they belong.
