Who are we?

Within the @one Alliance, we are a collaborative organization comprising eight partner companies (Anglian Water, Balfour Beatty, Barhale, Binnies, MMB, MWH Treatment, Skanska, and SWECO) and our extended supply chain. We deliver over half of Anglian Water’s capital investment programme.

As we prepare for our most ambitious Asset Management Period yet, known as AMP 8, we will undertake a larger programme of work than ever before. We are driving change, setting global benchmarks, and building a better environment, while offering growth and development opportunities for our workforce. We aim to build on our existing teams with a focus on career progression.

To enhance our ability to develop an optimal programme portfolio, we are seeking a talented Project Commercial Manager.

As we enter this exciting and challenging period for the water industry, maintaining industry-leading commercial and cost management processes is essential to ensure we not only deliver but outperform our objectives and meet customer expectations.

You will be responsible for the commercial and cost management of a project or programme, reporting directly to an Integrated Projects Leader (IPL).
