EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Join our Enabling Team as a Technician and take on a varied, fast-paced role where no two days are the same. You’ll play a key part in supporting proactive site checks, commissioning activity and trials that help deliver our wider capital enabling programme.
Working across the Severn Trent region, this is a hands-on, field-based role where you’ll be involved in specialist tasks such as complex valving operations, working in high-risk environments like confined spaces, and carrying out interventions using over pumps and generators. We’re looking for someone who enjoys getting stuck in, can work to tight deadlines, and takes pride in delivering work safely and to a high standard.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE
What you’ll be doing:
- Carrying out detailed asset checks to support capital design and installation feasibility, alongside maintaining high water quality and ensuring all equipment meets compliance standards
- Setting up and operating over pumping solutions for both planned and reactive work, including supporting complex network interventions and valve operations (release, squeezing and maintenance)
- Working in high-risk environments, including confined spaces, while providing rescue support when required
- Supporting a standby rota and out-of-hours work to respond to emergency loss of supply events and deliver key programme work
What we’re looking for:
- Strong knowledge of the water network (infra and non-infra) with hands-on operational experience
- Confident working in challenging environments (e.g. confined spaces, working at height) – full training can be provided
- A proactive team player with strong communication and time management skills, able to work independently when needed
- Full UK driving licence (including towing); willingness to gain additional licences such as HGV
Nice to have (but not essential):
- Experience with valve operations and maintenance
- Previous experience within the water industry
Qualifications:
- GCSEs (or equivalent)
- Full UK driving licence (with flexibility to support further licence training)
