Water and wastewater infrastructure is critical to enabling economic growth, building resilience against the impacts of climate change, protecting our environment and keeping customers’ taps running for years to come. Anglian Water is investing £11 billion over the current 5-year period and – as our region is home to many of the UK’s fastest growing towns and cities – we have much more planned beyond 2030. Now is a great time to join our team and make the case for vital investment in new infrastructure and upgrades to support the transformational growth of our region.

This role will lead the development and delivery of regulation policy to enable major infrastructure investment and drive strategic growth. It’s pivotal in shaping our regulatory framework, influencing policy outcomes, and ensuring that our business is positioned to deliver large-scale infrastructure projects in line with government ambitions and customer needs over the long-term.

You will also support the business to track our delivery of the investment and price control deliverables set out in our final determination. This will involve supporting other teams which lead on Delivery Plan reporting to Ofwat and other regulators. You will ensure that we convey a consistent message on capital delivery progress to our external stakeholders, and support the business to make delivery decisions which align with our broader financial and regulatory strategy.

• Lead on important regulatory submissions in respect of Developer Services and associated charging arrangements

• Ensure that we achieve our regulatory objectives in respect of the Fens and Lincs Reservoirs programme, desalination projects and other potential SIPR/DPC schemes.
