Who are we? Here within the @one Alliance we are a totally collaborative organisation made up of our seven partner companies (Anglian Water, Balfour Beatty, Barhale, MMB, MWH Treatment, Skanska and SWECO) and our extended supply chain, delivering over half of Anglian Water’s capital investment programme.

We are gearing up for our most exciting and challenging Asset Management Period yet, known as AMP8, which will see us deliver a programme of work larger than we’ve ever delivered before. We’ll be embarking on a new kind of project delivery focusing on nature-based solutions like wetlands and urban drainage schemes.

We are driving change, empowering us to set global benchmarks and build a better environment, with the opportunity to offer enhanced growth and development to our workforce. We’re looking to build on our existing teams with an environment built for career progression.

With such an exciting portfolio of projects planned for AMP8 to keep the water flowing across the region, our ability to manage our work and outperform against our customer’s expectations will come under greater scrutiny. And with a continued expectation to provide the highest standards of project design whilst ensuring we use innovation and creativity to deliver more with less, we are looking for a Principal Electrical Engineer to join our Water Recycling team.

What will you be doing as our new Principal Electrical Engineer? As our Principal Electrical Engineer, you will be the Electrical Engineering authority, responsible for providing independent advice and arbitration for quality and compliance related issues. You’ll support the Design Managers and Electrical Lead Engineers to assess the complexity of design, identify suitable methods and assign suitably competent resources and specialists.

Key Responsibilities:

Strategic Leadership: Foster innovative ways of working to achieve sustainable outcomes rather than outputs. Represent the @one Alliance as the electrical engineering authority, providing expert guidance on quality and compliance issues. Discipline Management: Develop procedures, standards, and guidance to achieve a "right-first time" philosophy. Collaborate with suppliers to ensure competency and performance and manage supplier frameworks. Identify, support, implement and approve standard products for delivery efficiency and consistency in projects. Project Delivery: Support the identification of value-driven solutions at Stage 1 of projects. Conduct audits (internal and external) to ensure compliance with quality standards and specifications. Lead the resolution of non-compliance issues, competency gaps, and procedural improvements. Offer expert direction for complex design challenges and stakeholder engagement. Health & Safety: Drive excellence in compliance with CDM regulations, ensuring safe and compliant designs. Conduct audits on electrical safety standards (e.g., HAZOP, DSEAR) and lead improvements. People & Team Development: Provide technical leadership, mentoring, and career guidance to the electrical engineering team. Champion professional development and qualifications while fostering an inclusive, respectful, and diverse environment. Transformation & Innovation: Inspire a culture of experimentation, safe failure, and continuous improvement. Lead the introduction of new technologies and techniques to advance performance and sustainability.

About You: To thrive in this role, you’ll need a strong background in Electrical engineering within the Water industry, be electrically qualified (degree – preferably Chartered) and be comfortable demonstrating your knowledge of all relevant regulations, standards and codes of practice. Proven leadership experience, with the ability to inspire teams and drive innovation is essential. A deep understanding of sustainability principles, including reducing carbon and protecting natural capital. Excellent communication, collaboration, and stakeholder engagement skills, and a passion for mentoring, professional development, and fostering a positive workplace culture.

Our Approach to Diversity & Inclusion At Anglian Water’s @one Alliance, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and talents. We believe that diversity enriches our team, fuels innovation, and drives success. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, experiences, and identities, and actively encourage individuals from underrepresented groups to apply. We are dedicated to creating an environment free from discrimination and bias, where everyone has equal opportunities for growth and advancement. Join us in creating a culture where diversity is celebrated, and inclusion is the norm.

Our vision A collaborative alliance, driving change. Empowering us to set global benchmarks and building a better environment for our customers. We strive to: Empower our people; Delight our Customers; Embrace digital transformation; Deliver brilliance.

Our Values To bring environmental and social prosperity to the region we serve through our commitment to Love Every Drop we: Build trust; Do the right thing; Are always exploring.
