Working at Anglian Water

At Anglian Water, we manage, supply, and recycle water for the driest region in the UK. Guided by the passion behind “Love Every Drop,” we’re redefining what a utility company can be. Our commitment to delivering the highest standards of customer service and transforming the way water is valued by everyone is at the core of our mission. Every day, we strive to be the change, driving innovation and improvement in everything we do.

Serving millions of people across the East of England and Hartlepool, our team of over 6,000 employees and more than 3,000 alliance partners is dedicated to putting water at the heart of a new way of living. From Grimsby in the northeast to Milton Keynes in the southwest, we provide clean, high-quality water to 4.3 million people daily, and we continue to invest to keep our drinking water among the best in the world.

As the largest water and water recycling company in England and Wales by geographic area, we treat and recycle over a billion litres of used water every day through more than 1,000 water recycling works. Our pioneering efforts have resulted in some of the cleanest rivers in decades, and our sustainability focus extends to protecting open spaces, wildlife habitats, parks, and reservoirs across the region.

At Anglian Water, we’re always innovating to be the change for a more resilient future. By 2030, we’ll have prepared two new reservoirs for construction, and our extended strategic pipeline will ensure the region stays resilient to drought. Every step we take is focused on improving the lives of the people we serve.

Joining Anglian Water means becoming part of a forward-thinking, purpose-driven team working to optimise every drop of water. Managing the world’s most involves solving complex engineering challenges, conducting groundbreaking research, and going the extra mile for our customers. Here, you’ll play a key role in creating game-changing solutions, while being valued, respected, and fairly rewarded for your contributions.

If you’re ready to be the change and make an impact, Anglian Water is the place for you.

Our Values are brought to life through our everyday behaviours. They describe what we do when we’re getting it right or wrong, and the lines we never cross.
