At Severn Trent, we're embarking on an exciting £415m project to replace 870 miles of old water pipes across the Midlands. This is the biggest investment in water infrastructure in the region in a decade, aiming to improve water quality, reduce leaks, and make water supply more reliable for millions. The new pipes installed will last up to 100 years.
We are creating new jobs across the region, based in Birmingham, Nottingham, or anywhere in between. We have opportunities for you to help shape the future of water in the Midlands.
We are looking for a Network Logistics Operative responsible for managing significant, large-scale construction activity across multiple sites.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
As our new Network Logistics Operative, you’ll ensure the timely, safe, and compliant delivery of construction equipment and materials onsite. This includes import/export of reinstatement materials, delivery of fittings, and the use of mechanical excavation equipment and vehicles.
You’ll also drive logistics vehicles, predominantly HGV “Grab” lorries. Your role involves the safe and efficient removal of waste materials and spoil, as well as the delivery of new usable materials to facilitate main renewal phases.
Additionally, you’ll transport and deliver all types of plant and equipment to support the Network Construction team and complete dynamic risk assessments. The role may also involve some construction activities, such as sectioning and service laying, to support the Network Construction Teams.
This role requires a 42-hour work week, Monday to Friday, starting at 7:30 AM and ending at 4:30 PM, with a half-hour early finish at 4:00 PM on Fridays.
Key Accountabilities:
* Transport reinstatement materials to and from the site, including delivery of fittings and use of mechanical excavation equipment, while completing dynamic risk assessments.
* Collaborate effectively with the Network Logistics supervisor and Network Construction Operatives, fostering a collaborative environment and facilitating the safe removal and disposal of asbestos.
* Ensure all excavations are safe and secure, maintaining access for domestic and commercial customers, and liaising with them as needed, providing updates during DMA renewal.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE
The ideal candidate will hold a Class 2 Drivers Licence (minimum category C, preferably CE), have an HGV qualification, and experience driving HGVs (or working towards it).
You should also have experience in the utility and/or construction industry, possess an HIAB qualification (Grab qualification), and be an NRSWA Operative.
You’ll have a proven track record of successfully driving logistics vehicles, particularly HGV “Grab” lorries, excellent customer service skills, and the ability to transport and deliver plant, tools, and equipment effectively. A good understanding of digital tachograph and driving/working time regulations, ensuring legal compliance, is essential.
We value the right character, positivity, and a caring attitude as much as skills and experience. We welcome individuals from all backgrounds, believing diversity helps us serve our communities better. We seek people who are proactive, eager to be part of something bigger, and motivated to make a difference.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU
Working at Severn Trent offers more than just a job. You can build a career with us. We reward great work with a range of benefits and award-winning training to help you reach your potential. We also support your role in caring for the environment and communities.
Some of our perks include:
* 25 days holiday + bank holidays (with options to buy/sell up to 5 days)
* Annual bonus scheme (up to £1,500 based on performance)
* Leading pension scheme with doubled contributions (up to 15% when you contribute 7.5%)
