About the Role
Make every drop count – join us in shaping essential infrastructure
Our Central Services Capital Projects team delivers a diverse range of schemes that keep water and wastewater services running safely and reliably across the Anglian Water region. We’re looking for a committed Project Engineer to help develop, plan and deliver our capital programme, ensuring our sites, assets and customers benefit from high-quality engineering solutions.
This is a great opportunity to make a difference in a role where no two days are the same, working with operational teams, contractors and colleagues to bring projects to life.
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.
