SalaryJob Description
This role will help to ensure that our development of projects like the building of Guildford Sewage Treatment works is done in a way that we are protecting our environment, reducing our carbon footprint and being always sustainable. This is an exciting role to ensure that Thames Water can help our environments and agriculture thrive while we deliver life’s essential service.
What you’ll be doing as a Senior Environmental Engineer

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing, highly engaged team developing solutions for improving ways we can protect our environments and begin to reduce our carbon footprint.

Water is life’s great leveller. Every living thing needs it, every single day. From people to plants, birds to bees, farms to factories, we all need it to thrive, and we’re committed to taking care of it for us all.
But keeping water flowing is becoming harder. From scorching summers to wetter winters, extreme weather affects everything from our pipes to our local rivers. We need to keep millions more kettles boiling, public services operating, washing machines spinning, showers running and more, so every drop is more precious than ever. Are you ready to play your part?
