What do you get if you cross an award winning, innovative, water company and over 300 dedicated team members? Our Strategic Capital Design team of course!

AMP8, our next five-year regulatory period, will see us launch our biggest and most complex investment programme of almost £13bn, of which £6bn will be delivered through our capital programme.

This is more than double the size of the AMP7 capital programme and is an opportunity to drive real change.

Our new Plug and Play approach will be a collection of common parts that can be connected in different ways and work together (like rigs or tanks). They can be mixed and matched to create a whole range of different products.  

Picture this as your ready-made catalogue of standard products. You can simply select the parts you need and then they arrive ready to go all in one.  

This is a game-changing plan which really will save us significant time and cost. Truly delivering for the future!

This new innovative approach will help to combat the challenges of waste and water infrastructure, flooding and water quality. Be a part of something bringing benefits to our communities, health outcomes and environment.

We looked at how we can build smarter, faster, safer, greener and more affordable projects.

It could be the biggest challenge of your career. If you want to do more because you care, we’d love to talk to you.

We are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to work within our Plug & Play team to drive our ambitions and make them reality.
