Philips has flagged the Design Director: North American Markets job as unavailable. Let’s keep looking.

Who are we?

Here within the Anglian Water, we are always looking at ways we can improve the services we offer to our customers and communities as we live by our purpose to bring environmental and social prosperity to the region we serve through our commitment to Love Every Drop.

We have recently gained permission to begin the design work to build a modern, low carbon waste water treatment plant to provide vital services for the community and environment which will recycle water and nutrients, produce green energy and help Greater Cambridge to grow sustainably.

Known as the Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) Relocation Project, Anglian Water will work with our partners, MMB, MWH and Skanska to help deliver this fantastic opportunity for the Greater Cambridgeshire area. The relocation would make the site of the existing WWTP available to form part of the development of a new low-carbon city district, known as North East Cambridge. The site at Cowley Road, is Cambridge’s last major brownfield site, and the wider North East Cambridge district proposals envisage creating around 8,350 homes and 15,000 jobs over the next 20 years.
