Want to do the best work of your life? Playing your part in making a big difference to the environment and communities we serve. Our people make Severn Trent a truly exciting and inclusive place to work – a place where you can be yourself and let your skills shine.

Our purpose is taking care of life’s essentials, but we’re also big on making a difference, not just because we should but because we care.

Which is why we are excited to announce we have an opportunity available within our Bioresources Logistics & Planning team as a Logistics Controller!

You’ll be responsible for the effective planning and scheduling of our tanker movements delivering Wastewater Recycling’s all-important sludge to Bioresources reception centres – generating cake, energy and gas. Bioresources Logistics manages a fleet of over 60 tankers and we’re responsible for the planned volume of sludge coming into our 26 reception centres.

This role plays a fundamental part of our Waste ecosystem.
