Job description
Location - Flag Fen, Peterborough, Stamford

Start date - August 2026

Starting Salary:
£18,000 (increasing to £23,500 in your second year)


Right to Work in the UK: To be considered due to the salary level of this role, we cannot offer sponsorship for the position for individuals that don't have the Right to Work in the UK.


Join our Wastewater (Sewage) team as a front‑line Technician Apprentice and play a vital role in keeping our sites and equipment operating safely, reliably, and efficiently.

This is your chance to build a long‑term career with Anglian Water and make a real impact on the environment and our communities.

You'll split your time between college learning and hands‑on experience across our operational sites. You'll support the wastewater recycling process—collecting, treating and cleaning wastewater before returning it safely to our rivers and seas.

This is a practical, outdoor role where no two days are the same.

It's varied, rewarding, and occasionally challenging, but you'll be part of a supportive team who will help you grow into a skilled technician.

Once qualified, you'll join a 24/7 standby rota because your role is vital.

We are very proud of our apprentices here at Anglian Water. Over 87% of our apprentices are still working here at Anglian after 10 years. Check out our career site to hear more about opportunities and hear from our current apprentices Operational Apprenticeships - Anglian Water Careers

What You'll Do

Inspect, maintain and care for essential assets and equipment
Support fault‑finding and respond to issues to help keep our sites running efficiently
Work and learn alongside experienced mechanical and electrical technicians and follow health & safety rules
Follow all health & safety procedures
Take ownership of your development and contribute to team success

What We're Looking For


English, Maths and Science (grades 9–4/A*–C) - predicted grades will be accepted if you have not yet completed your exams.

Level 2 Functional Skills will also be accepted.
Unrestricted Right to Work in the UK for the full duration of the programme.

Due to the salary level of this role, we cannot offer sponsorship for the position for individuals that don't have the Right to Work in the UK.

A genuine interest in the water industry and protecting the environment
Good communication skills and a strong team mindset
Willingness to work outdoors and learn new skills


If you do not currently hold a full UK driving licence, you'll need to obtain one by the end of year two of the programme, or if this isn't possible due to your age, within one year of your 17th birthday.

What's In It For You

A dedicated mentor and full support network
Paid holidays, private healthcare, pension, gym and retail discounts
Nationally recognised qualifications without the student debt
A welcoming and inclusive environment where you can bring your true self

Applications close:
Sunday 22nd February 2026

Next Steps:
Submit your CV and answer five screening questions to share more about you and your motivations for applying.

If successful, you may be selected to a site tour/meet the team at a local site to gain an understanding of the role.

If shortlisted, you'll be invited to an in-person final stage assessment centre locally on 25th or 26th March
