Non Infra Senior Technician

Severn Trent Water; England; On-site; GBP 30,000 - 50,000; Full time

Job description

Hello, we’re Severn Trent and we think water is wonderful. Oh, we’re pretty keen on people too.

24 hours a day, 365 days a year we serve 4.8 million households and businesses across the heart of the UK. Each cuppa drunk and every toilet flushed is only possible because of the 6,500 brilliant team members working across our patch.

We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality. We know diverse minds, experiences, and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our customers and the communities where they live.

If you want to do more because you care, we’d love to talk to you. There really is something for everyone here.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

We are looking for a new Senior Technician to work at Draycote Water Treatment works, within our Water Treatment department. You’ll support the team manager in managing the day-to-day operation of our water treatment and distribution sites. The role is pivotal in assisting the team to meet tough local and function-wide targets around maintenance, quality, continuous supply, safety, and cost control. In your role, you will have the opportunity to work with the maintenance and operational team, embracing curiosity and learning new skills outside of your ‘day job’.

The role will include being part of a regional standby rota which operates 24/7, 365 days a year.

Some of your other key accountabilities will include:

1. Enable the team to manage the day-to-day operation and maintenance of wholesale assets through allocated resources (people, capital assets, IT, and finance).
2. Ensure that the operation and maintenance of water supply treatment processes deliver full compliance with all regulatory and company requirements.
3. Ensure consistent use and application of standardised practices and procedures for the management of H&S risk and quality problems, with full adherence to and promotion of the Company principles.
4. Support local operator and maintenance teams in the development of cost-saving, optimisation, and improvement activities.
5. Assist the team manager with budget monitoring and preparations.
6. Ensure all operations comply with Environment Agency (EA) regulations, including monitoring and reporting on environmental performance.
7. Support the team manager in interpretation of relevant Health & Safety policies, assessing the impact of implementation and developing implementation plans.
8. Assist the team with capital project work and liaising with Asset Creation with technical support through meetings or onsite support.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

It would be advantageous to have experience in water treatment and supply, as well as maintenance, electrical, or instrumentation work in this area; however, we encourage applications if you have not done this before. We are looking for someone who has a positive attitude, enthusiasm to get involved, enjoys learning new things, and likes to see things through from start to finish. A strong understanding and experience of H&S management, including managing contractors and suppliers, would be beneficial and allow you to hit the ground running. In addition, having supervisory or management experience and exhibiting relevant leadership behaviours would be desirable.

Travel to sites will be essential for this role, and therefore a full UK driving license will be required.

The right skills and experience are important. But if you have the right character, positivity, and a caring attitude, we want to talk to you too.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

Working here isn’t just a job. You can build a career at Severn Trent, and we’ll reward you for it too. We have a range of benefits that recognise great work and award-winning training to help you reach your potential. And we’ll also help you play your part in looking after the environment and the communities where we live.

With that in mind, here are just some of our favourite perks that you’ll get being part of the Severn Trent family:

• 28 days holiday + bank holidays (and the ability to buy/sell up to 5 days per year)
• Annual bonus scheme (of up to £2,250 per annum based on company performance)
• Leading pension scheme – we will double your contribution (up to 15% when you contribute 7.5%)
