Welcome to Urban Connect’s Water Sector Hub – your gateway to exclusive AMP8 roles.
The AMP8 cycle is an exciting new chapter for the water industry, offering incredible opportunities to shape the future of water infrastructure, supply, and sustainability.
Whether you’re an engineer, project manager, or sustainability expert, we’ve partnered with the UK’s leading water companies to bring you the top roles in the sector.
The UK water sector is on the cusp of an unprecedented transformation with the upcoming Asset Management Period 8 (AMP8), set to begin in April 2025. This five-year investment cycle promises to be the most ambitious and exciting, with a staggering £96 billion proposed spending package.
This represents a monumental 33% increase compared to the previous five-year period of AMP7, signaling a new era of growth and innovation in the industry.
AMP8 is poised to revolutionise the UK's water infrastructure, focusing on critical areas such as pollution reduction, improved customer service, and enhanced river and bathing water quality.
The scale of investment is truly remarkable, with £35 billion earmarked specifically for environmental improvements - more than triple the amount invested in the current 2020-2025 period.
The influx of funding is creating a surge in jobs across the sector. Water UK predicts a staggering 50% increase in the workforce, with over 30,000 highly skilled jobs expected to be generated. Some initiatives planned for AMP8 are:
