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 business across the heart of the UK. Each cuppa drank 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 

  

Our Bioresources team have an opportunity for you to join as our new Tankered Trade Technician. 

  

Your role will be to support the operation and growth of the Tankered Waste business in Bioresources. This will include providing a waste reception and control service and a customer point of contact across the Severn Trent Waters region. 

  

You’ll also have the opportunity to work within a dynamic team, work closely with our Production colleagues on-site to provide a swift, reliable and professional service to our customers while ensuring that the waste received is suitable for reception and treatment. 

  

The working hours will be on a rotating shift pattern of 7am-3pm & 11am-7pm, and you'll be based at our site in Minworth

   

Some of your other key accountabilities will include: 

  

  • Ensuring that samples of waste loads are taken and simple analytical testing is performed & recorded to allow acceptance to discharge onsite.   

  • Ensuring that all appropriate paperwork and electronic records (include duty of care and transportation) is completed and dealt with appropriately.   

  • Ensure the process for acceptance or rejection of loads based upon procedures is performed consistently & effectively to protect STW's assets & processes.   

  • Operate the waste discharge tanks onsite, calculating discharge rates in line with site performance.  

  • Liaise with site operational staff on a daily basis.   

  • Record & compile data, produce reports and support the delivery of relevant SLA’s / KPIs and requirements of the Tankered Waste Team & Manager.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE 

   

We’re seeking our new Tankered Trade Technician to be comfortable at working from multiple Seven Trent Water locations to perform the duties related to Tankered Waste operations (e.g receive loads, collect samples and paperwork, attending meeting etc.) 

   

You’ll join our team with proven marketing experience at a senior level and will be adept at driving behaviour change. You’ll have excellent communication skills, with an ability to engage and influence decision making with key stakeholders. 

  

To be successful, you’ll hold a full driving licence, have great attention to detail and excellent communication/problem-solving skills. An awareness of water or waste industry and wastewater processes would also be beneficial but not essential as training will be provided. 

  

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. 

  

We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities.
