This is your opportunity to join Anglian Water as a Process Engineer, where you’ll play a vital role in designing, modelling, and optimising treatment processes for clean water or waste water projects across our region.
We’re looking for a technically skilled, detail-driven engineer with strong problem-solving ability and the confidence to apply process safety principles in every design. You’ll bring creativity and rigour to ensure our projects meet the highest standards of performance, safety, and sustainability.

Your responsibilities will include:
- Designing water or wastewater treatment processes and sewerage/water systems in line with Anglian Water’s goals and standards
- Undertaking process calculations, including hydraulics, unit processes, capacity assessments, and pump design
- Producing technical deliverables such as data sheets and process documentation
- Analysing and assessing third-party equipment through technical bid reviews
- Applying process safety principles, including LOPA and DSEAR, in all designs
- Collaborating with design teams to develop integrated 3D models and solutions
- Ensuring compliance with POSWSH and POSWASTE requirements

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
