Hello. We’re Severn Trent and we think water is wonderful. And we’re pretty keen on people, too.
24 hours a day, 365 (sometimes 366) days a year we serve 4.8 million households and businesses across the heart of the UK. Each cuppa drank, each toilet flushed is only possible because of the 7,000 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 Workforce Planning & Optimisation team here at Severn Trent is a critical part of our Field and Contact Centre Operations and we’re looking for a Schedule & Delivery Technician to join the team on a permanent contract across 2 sites in Derby.
You’ll be responsible for making sure our field operations in Water and Waste are on time and right first time, across the region!
In this role, you’ll liaise with external suppliers, field managers, operatives, the local planning authorities, and customers to schedule crucial emergency and planned repair, renewal, and installation works.
You’ll manage our workflow, redistributing work in a day as priorities and service levels change to meet customer and business needs.
Plus, you’ll make sure that we’re meeting customer expectations and targets by managing the real-time workflows against service levels and Key Performance Indicators.
You'll either be based at our Pride Park or Raynesway site, both in Derby where you’ll be able to park for free. You’ll work within our 320 strong Workforce Planning & Optimisation Team.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE
Being proactive and organised will make you a shining star as you’ll need to work to certain service levels to achieve our customer and company outcomes efficiently, correctly, and accurately.
It is important you are proactive in the use of continuous improvement and problem-solving techniques to identify issues, solutions, and implement and sustain best practice solutions.
Strong administration skills are essential as you will be using our planning tool Click to prioritise and schedule both customer appointed and proactive work to our field technicians and repair crews.
Communication skills are key as you’ll be liaising with a wide range of stakeholders, including customers to manage their expectations.
You’ll thrive working under pressure and can be flexible, switching to different jobs that are high priority and picking up new tasks to support the wider team.
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.
