Assurance Technician - Water

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 Network Control team has a fixed-term opportunity available for you to join as our new Assurance Technician.

 

In your new role, you’ll be responsible for assuring data linked to 3 water ODI’s and a number of reporting lines ensuring the most accurate reporting possible. The team are responsible for the auditing of Supply interruptions, Burst mains and Unplanned outage. In this role you will need a right first-time approach to make certain we are fully compliant with guidance outlined by OFWAT. The available role is specifically within Burst Mains and Unplanned Outages assurance, so some knowledge of water treatment or networks would be beneficial but not essential. You will be dealing with a range of operational teams so written and verbal communication are key skills to.

 

 

Some of your other key accountabilities will include:

  • Review & analyse data to create validation packs across multiple ODI’s
  • Develop strong relationships with key stakeholders to identify improvement areas.
  • Ensure our data complies with company and OFWAT standards.
  • Support Water Assurance manager in all aspects of Annual Return Reporting, audit and conformance monitoring / management.
  • Consistently apply a set methodology to ensure we are compliant with both the ODI and GSS policies.

 

 WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

 

We’re seeking our new Assurance Technician to be highly motivated to ensure we turn around validations within our target SLA.

 

To be successful, it’s expected that you’ll have excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage your own time and hit multiple deadlines. Being a technical role you must have the ability to understand complex hydraulic issues, regulatory demands and new operational challenges to improve regulatory compliance. Good communication skills with the ability to clearly communicate both verbally and in writing will put you in good stead as you’ll be working across multiple departments.

 

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 involved. Those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care. Is that you?
