Network Optimisation Technician

 

Our innovation strategy is simple - We want to solve the challenges we have today as well as find answers to some of our industry’s bigger long-term challenges.

 

Whether it's delivering water that is always good to drink, reducing waste in our processes with energy efficient technologies or improving visibility of the network, our 150+ strong team of innovators are working day in day out to make it happen. If you want to do more because you care, we’d love to talk to you. There really is something for everyone here.

 

With that in mind we’re looking for a Network Optimisation Technician to help us as we do so at our site in Coventry.

 

Are you a determined individual who likes to find the underlying cause of problems and takes pride in finding resolutions for them? And perhaps you are a proactive individual who can use their own initiative?  

 

If so, then read on.  

 

 

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

 

Our Network Optimisation teams are dedicated to ensuring that we meet, maintain, and improve the levels of service to our customers' water supply. We strive to get the best performance from the assets on our water distribution network.

 

As a Network Optimisation Technician within Chief Engineer, you will play a key part in ensuring that the quality of our core systems data is up to scratch. You will be responsible for monitoring various applications and providing practical support. This role involves liaising with multiple stakeholders across the business and offering analytical and problem-solving skills.

 

So, if you think you have the right mindset for this role, keep on reading. We are committed to providing a supportive and dynamic work environment. You will have the opportunity to work with a talented team, contribute to meaningful projects, and grow your career in a company that values innovation and excellence.

 

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

 

You’ll need to be able to use IT systems, such as Excel, and the application of the data is directly related to the water provision side of the business. It goes without saying you’ll have excellent communication skills and demonstrate the ability to influence colleagues of all levels effectively. You’ll have strong organisational skills, and be able to work on own initiative.
