About the Role
Morson Talent are recruiting on behalf of Severn Trent, who keep water flowing for 4.8 million households and businesses across the heart of the UK – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We’re currently looking for a Control Room Operator to join Severn Trent’s Network Control team based in Coventry. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience in control rooms, emergency services, incident management, or analytical environments who thrives in a fast‑paced, problem‑solving setting.

• Ability to remain calm under pressure and manage multiple priorities.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across teams.
