Ranger

At Severn Trent, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re in the top 5% of utility companies worldwide for employee engagement, and we’re equally proud of our strong Glassdoor score — reflecting how much our people love working here. Join us in making a positive impact on the environment and our communities, while being valued and supported in a truly inclusive workplace.

If you want to do more, because you care, we want you on our team.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

We have a lovely opportunity to be a Ranger working at our Carsington Reservoir site. Carsington is set in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside and receives over one million visitors a year!

We’re seeking someone who has an interest in maintaining areas, such as nature reserves, large sites with cultural significance and sites of special scientific interest. And of course, it’s important you possess a natural passion for delivering great customer service!

We are also looking for someone that is comfortable using social media to engage with customers/visitors through creating engaging conversations and content that help our customers get information on our visitors’ centre.

You’ll know popular social media sites well and you’ll understand how to interact on those platforms.

You’ll be joining a team of Rangers who cover our site 37 hours a week, on a shift pattern covering roughly explained as ‘early’ (07:30-16:30) and ‘late’ shifts (09:00-18:00) - you will be rotated in to work Monday through to Sunday working 3-4 days a week.

Sound like you? Then read on.

Your key accountabilities in helping us will be:

Practical grounds maintenance and conservation management using power tools, (strimmer, brushcutter, chainsaws etc) on primary site and secondary satellite sites.

Be an ambassador for Severn Trent and helping out visitors on site with any queries they may have.

Responsible for carrying out H&S Inspections across the site location.

Managing all forms of volunteering including recruitment, work planning, supervision and managing their safety to ensure that we have a well-motivated team.

Creating conservation initiatives and directly liaising with partners and the catchment team.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for people that have experience in Customer Service, Ground maintenance, conservation, and Visitor management.

Event organising and being familiar with outdoor sports is important for this role such as fishing, cycling and walking as this is what a lot of visitors will be doing across the areas you will be helping to maintain.

Having the ability to work with a large range of different people is important such as volunteers, contractors and partners as this will vary day to day.

A health and safety management qualification as well as some practical qualification such as chainsaws, woodchippers and trailer towing would be great too.

You’ll also need to have a full UK driving license for this role as it does involve some travel to and from sites.

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.

We want people who show up and get involve. Those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care.
