Job description

At Severn Trent, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re in the top 5% of utility companies worldwide for employee engagement, and we’re equally proud of our strong Glassdoor score — reflecting how much our people love working here.

Join us to make a positive impact on the environment and our communities, while being valued and supported in a truly inclusive workplace.

If you want to do more, because you care, we want you on our team.

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’s set to improve water quality, reduce leaks, and make our water supply even more reliable for millions of people.

It’s an exciting time to join, as we have a huge ambition to deliver bigger and better than ever before over our next 5-year regulatory period. If you’re seeking an exciting and thoroughly rewarding career, Severn Trent is the place to be.

This is your opportunity to play a part in this transformation!

We are looking for a Assistant Design Engineer to join our team and support the design of technical solutions for Severn Trent Water Mains Renewal Programmes. Including projects from the feasibility stage all the way through to detailed design.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

As our new Assistant Design Engineer, you’ll be working alongside Design Engineers to design and deliver design packages that the programme and construction teams will take forward and construct, utilising desktop studies, site visits and peer reviews.

Key Accountabilities:

• Prepare and deliver information to stakeholders, including content, designs, and sketches for the mains renewal programme and subsequent construction.
• Collaborate with the programme team to ensure solutions are constructed and commissioned to the agreed design specification. Conduct preconstruction assessments through site visits to identify any unknown complexities.
• Help design solutions that deliver efficient and cost-effective solutions, liaising with internal and external experts. Identify and assess operational risks, ensuring health and safety are integrated into the design lifecycle. Maintain proactive risk management and risk registers throughout the design process.
• Production of CDM documentation, review and validate third-party deliverables, and support the programme team to ensure solutions meet design specifications. Participate in post-project reviews to appraise delivered solutions and capture learnings.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

For this role the right candidate will have experience in using CAD or BIM and will have had exposure to CDM regulations within design.

As travel is required, you’ll also have 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 involve. Those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care. Is that you?

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

Working here isn’t just a job. You can build a career at Severn Trent. We’ll reward you for it, too. We have a range of benefits that recognise great work, and award-winning training to help you reach your potential. And we’ll also help you play your part in looking after the environment and the communities where we live.
With that in mind, here are just some of our favourite's perks that you’ll get being part of the Seven Trent family:

• 28 days holiday + bank holidays (and the ability to buy/ sell up to 5 days per year)
• Annual bonus scheme (of up to £2,250 per annum based on company performance)
