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. This will see us deliver a programme of work larger than we’ve ever delivered before, focusing on nature-based solutions like wetlands and urban drainage schemes.

* 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:
