The East of England faces a unique challenge: it’s home to rich natural ecosystems, yet it’s one of the most water-stressed regions in the UK. At the @one Alliance, we’re leading the charge to change that.
We’re a ground-breaking collaboration between eight leading organisations – Anglian Water, Balfour Beatty, Barhale, Binnies, MMB, MWH Treatment, Skanska, and SWECO – and we deliver over half of Anglian Water’s capital investment programme.
We are seeking a motivated and solutions-focused Process Engineer to join our team working on major water and wastewater treatment projects across East Anglia. This is a fantastic opportunity to be at the forefront of sustainable water management, supporting essential infrastructure that serves communities and the environment.
As a Process Engineer, you will play a vital role in the design, optimisation, and performance monitoring of water and wastewater treatment processes. Working closely with multidisciplinary teams, you’ll contribute to both capital delivery and operational improvement programmes.
Develop and evaluate water and wastewater treatment process designs.
Support project teams through feasibility, outline, and detailed design phases.
Carry out process modelling, mass balances, and technical risk assessments.
Liaise with internal stakeholders, contractors, and regulatory bodies.
Provide technical input to ensure compliance with environmental standards.
Contribute to innovation and continuous improvement across projects.
