Our diverse network of environments includes areas of outstanding natural beauty in the Cotswolds to Europe’s largest water treatment plant at Beckton. We have 350 waste treatment sites, 100 water treatment works and we treat 2,700 million litres of water a day, with 35,000 km of pipe network and over 110,000 km of sewers. Our Engineering & Assets team plays a crucial role in getting the most out of all these assets for our customers today and for future generations.

Having our own dedicated Engineering team is key to accelerating the delivery of the large-scale projects we urgently need to modernise our water and sewage networks. Our Engineers are at the forefront of shaping the new world of water – our Design Engineers provide the designs for our future sewers, while our Civil and Construction Engineers ensure we build in the correct and safe way. Our Project Engineers manage multiple critical engineering projects while our Environmental engineers ensure we’re protecting our environment. Everyone has a crucial role to play in helping us to deliver life’s essential service.

Our Project Managers are pivotal to us successfully delivering the large-scale projects we’re working on to create a new world of water. They ensure our often large and complex game-changing projects are completed to the very best standard within the right timeframes and budgets. We’re looking for passionate and committed people to join our Project Management team. Some of the exciting projects you could work on include building new reservoirs and treatment plants and upgrading our Victorian pipes.

Our Programme Managers are responsible for driving the end-to-end processes within Thames Water and our supply chain. They ensure that we are continuously raising the bar and shaping the future with our multi-million pound projects within our sewer and water networks. We need more programme managers to help us make our ambitious plans happen and build a new world of water for generations to come.

Our environmental specialists are crucial if we want to achieve our purpose of helping the environment thrive. They make sure our work protects the environment by providing critical data to the business and following Environment Agency standards. Meanwhile, our water quality teams ensure the water we produce is safe for our customers to use, 24/7. These roles are a huge part of our mission to create a better world of water, protecting our environment and building resilience for tomorrow.

Our Asset Integration team is at the heart of our delivery process, overseeing and being included in all projects from initial design right through to construction and commissioning, working with contractors to address any issues and ensure everything is completed correctly and to our standards. These roles are crucial to making sure our projects comply with environmental, regulatory, statutory and safeguarding requirements in asset design, delivery and testing, and monitoring delivery performance. They ensure health and safety are at the forefront of everything we complete on our sites, so our employees and communities are safe at all times.
