Costain have won extensive work across the water sector to support the AMP 8 investment cycle.

Anglian Water has a principal commitment to delivering safe, clean drinking water to all in the Anglian region. To uphold this commitment, it has an ongoing programme of capital investment to maintain and improve its water storage assets. As part of a structured process, the requirement includes draining down and inspecting these storage point assets so that a scope of work can be established, followed by the completion of the required work and then bringing the assets back online. This is a very large programme of work with assets in locations across the whole of the AW region.

As a key partner, we are looking for an experienced Site Manager to lead the safe, efficient and successful delivery of water storage point projects.

Key locations: Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Lincolnshire.

  • Plan, coordinate and supervise site operations to ensure work is delivered safely and efficiently
  • Manage the day-to-day delivery of construction activity on sites
  • Lead site teams, subcontractors and specialist suppliers
  • Coordinate civil, mechanical, electrical and other specialist works where required
  • Take responsibility for maintaining high standards of health, safety and environmental performance on site
  • Ensure all works comply with company policies, legislation and client requirements
  • Lead daily briefings, toolbox talks and site inductions
  • Monitor productivity and resource utilisation
  • Monitor subcontractor performance and ensure works are delivered in accordance with contractual 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.
