Dive into a world of opportunity!  Shape how our assets perform – and how our people succeed

What will you be doing?  

This is a role for an engineer with strong electrical and automation skills who wants to use their technical credibility to help others succeed – shaping not just how Water Recycling assets perform, but how Flow Engineers and operational teams understand, control and improve them.

As a Senior Flow Asset Engineer, you will sit at the heart of Anglian Water’s Catchment Flow Compliance function, working alongside Flow Engineers to tackle some of our most complex flow, pumping and treatment challenges. You’ll bring deep operational and asset insight – interpreting telemetry, control logic and site behaviour – and help turn evidence into practical, sustainable improvements that protect compliance, resilience and the environment.

What makes this role different is its blend of people leadership and technical depth. You won’t just diagnose issues yourself – you’ll work shoulder‑to‑shoulder with Flow Engineers, coaching them through asset and automation challenges, and helping them engage effectively with operations and OT engineers. Acting as the bridge between Catchment Flow, WR Operations and Telemetry & Automation, you’ll support the design, agreement and safe implementation of control and asset improvements – while developing others’ capability along the way.

If you’re motivated by using your electrical and automation expertise to unlock solutions, remove blockers and enable others to deliver their best work, this role gives you the platform to lead through influence, collaboration and technical credibility – within a supportive, values‑led team that genuinely invests in its people.
