At Severn Trent, we’re embarking on an exciting £415m project to replace 870 miles of old water pipes across the Midlands – and we want you to be part of it. The new pipes we’re installing will last for up to 100 years. This is the biggest investment in water infrastructure in the region in a decade, and it’s set to improve water quality, reduce leaks, and make our water supply more reliable for millions of people.
To bring this vision to life, we’re creating new jobs across the region. Whether you’re based in Birmingham, Nottingham, or anywhere in between, we’ve got opportunities for you to help shape the future of water in the Midlands.
We are looking for a Network Construction Engineer to come in and work as part of a team to successfully deliver Mains Renewal construction activity for a specific site within one of the 4 regions (North, South, East and West).
Key Responsibilities:
* Operate assets on the network on behalf of the construction team whilst carrying out large scale Mains Renewal work at specific locations.
