Anglian Water is set to invest £11 billion in infrastructure projects across the region, including Nottinghamshire in the East Midlands, over the next five years. The investment is expected to create thousands of new jobs.
The company will prioritize apprenticeships to develop future industry leaders as part of its recruitment drive. This year, 90 new apprentices will join the company, adding to the existing 230 already in training.
The initiative aims to address skills shortages in the sector by combining hands-on experience with formal education. Apprentices will gain industry qualifications while working alongside experienced professionals, with a focus on digital, data, and technology roles.
Anglian Water’s investment is part of a broader strategy to strengthen water infrastructure and workforce development across the region.
