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.
This is the biggest investment in water infrastructure in the region in a decade and it is set to improve water quality, reduce leaks and make water supply more reliable for millions of people. The new pipes we are installing will last up to 100 years.
To bring this vision to life, we are creating new jobs across the region with your base 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 Logistics Technician to support the Network Construction Team in successfully completing large-scale Mains renewal scheme activities as allocated within the regional area.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
As our new Network Logistics Technician, you’ll be responsible for the timely, safe, and compliant delivery of specific construction plant, equipment, and materials onsite as required by the Network Construction team.
You’ll provide continuous support and delivery of materials such as pipes and fittings, transported in lighter goods vehicles (not HGVs). You’ll also be responsible for the effective stock management of materials and fittings, ensuring appropriate stock levels are maintained, and for keeping kit and equipment safe and in good order.
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.

* Liaising frequently with a variety of stakeholders both internally and externally, and at times performing service laying to support the Construction Teams while ensuring the safety of the site, operatives, customers, and the public.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE
The right candidate will have experience in a logistics role, working on Mains Renewal schemes and/or an NCO Qualification, and come from a utilities background.
You’ll also have excellent communication, customer service, and stakeholder skills, with the ability to make prompt, clear decisions, work in a high-pressure environment, and multitask.
Additionally, you’ll be required to perform onsite construction work, know how to carry out successful transportation and delivery of materials and equipment, and be accountable for the safety of the site, operatives, customers, and the public.
As travel is required, you’ll also need to hold a full U.K driving license.
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.
We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences, and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities. We want people who show up and get involved, those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care. Is that you?
