Become part of our sampling team!
Before it reaches our customer’s tap, drinking water is cleaned, disinfected and tested to ensure it’s safe to be consumed; after the water has been flushed and poured into our sewers, it’s delivered to our water recycling works, where it’s cleaned before it gets passed back to nature, where it’s also tested to ensure it’s not going to damage the environment.

Joining the scientific sampling team, you will travel around the region visiting the sampler depots, picking up samples and driving them to Anglian Water’s laboratory for them to be analysed.
Following vital scientific processes, you’ll continuously work within the regulatory guidelines, meeting our quality standards to train to sample water treatment works and recycling centres, boreholes, reservoirs, rivers and customer properties collecting water samples and carrying out on-site chlorine tests. You will prepare various sampling bottles, ensuring the accuracy of every single sample that you collect.
The work you’ll do is critical to the whole scientific analysis process; you really will make a difference.
