About The Role

We are looking to strengthen our SHEQ team with an Enabling Lead based at Peterborough, Anglian Water Region with hybrid working available. 
 

As an Enabling Lead, you’ll take the lead in identifying, assessing and managing environmental and consenting risks across a diverse range of infrastructure and non-infrastructure projects.

Working from early feasibility through to construction completion, you’ll ensure that all necessary consents, permits and licences are in place – enabling smooth project progression and embedding a “Right First Time” approach. By integrating environmental and planning considerations from the outset, you’ll help reduce risk, minimise delays, and safeguard both project delivery and Anglian Water’s reputation for responsible development.

You’ll work closely with design, engineering, and construction teams as well as regulators, land agents, local authorities and environmental specialists. This is a highly collaborative role that combines technical expertise, risk management and stakeholder engagement to deliver lasting positive outcomes.

About You

We’re looking for someone with both the technical know-how and the ability to influence and build strong relationships. You’ll have:

  • A degree (BSc or MSc) in Geography, Environmental Science, Earth Science or similar (minimum 2:1).

  • Experience using GIS (ArcGIS, QGIS, MapInfo) to analyse and visualise environmental data.

  • Strong organisational and analytical skills, with the ability to translate technical findings into clear advice.

  • Effective written and verbal communication skills, able to engage colleagues, stakeholders, and regulators.

  • A collaborative, proactive mindset – confident working across teams to design out risk and find solutions.
