The East of England has unique rivers, wetlands and coastlines, yet it is classified as severely water stressed and faces drought and a degrading natural environment. This is due to a combination of a growing economy, the highest rate of new housing development in the UK, climate change and being a major agricultural producer.

Deliver a programme of combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and sewage treatment works storm overflows, with an approximate value of £100M.
Work collaboratively with the Water Recycling West Treatment Design Managers to develop holistic catchment (systems) based solutions. which prioritise addressing catchment / network issues and consider the impacts to the receiving water recycling treatment works.
Develop new ways of working and solutions that focus on delivering outcomes, rather than outputs, to reduce carbon and increase efficiency, using the PAS 2080 hierarchy:
Avoid – optimise current systems and assets, such as sewer relining and pumping station operations.
Switch – nature-based solutions and sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) to remove surface water from the combined sewers.
Improve – conventional engineered solutions, such as attenuation tanks.
Be technically proficient in the design of solutions and leading your engineering team.
Manage the Water Recycling (sewage) West Storm Overflow design team in delivering all catchment and pipeline related solutions within this programme area.
Lead the development, implementation and management of Engineering Project Plans to control scope, programme, cost, risk and resources.
In collaboration with the Discipline Lead Engineers, provide direction on suitable design methods for undertaking engineering design tasks.
Using the principle of best for task, assess the complexity of your portfolio projects and assign suitably competent engineering resources to projects.
Collaborate with the Lead Discipline Engineers and BIM Programme Manager to implement design quality procedures and monitor adherence to achieve a right first-time philosophy.
Supplier and subcontractor design input – support the engagement, selection, contracting, management and integration of designs for your portfolio.
End users – support your team to produce acceptable designs with consideration of health & safety, the environment, construction, procurement, the customer, and Anglian Water Operations.
Lead and conduct portfolio engineering design meetings and hold team members to account.
