People are at the heart of what makes this company great, and we're passionate about helping people be the best they can be and making Severn Trent a truly awesome place to work.

We’re a team of over 7,000 people with a purpose to deliver one of life’s essentials. We do it all while thriving in our unique culture and making a lasting difference to our planet, society, and careers. So, the only question is… why wouldn't you want to be part of that?

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

We’re looking for a Hydraulic Modeller to join our Risk Validation team, with responsibility for confirming model fitness for use to meet Severn Trent Water design standards and project-specific requirements.

In this role, you’ll evaluate wastewater network performance to identify new or validate existing risks and needs. Developing notional solutions for projects that will be passed to the capital delivery teams for feasibility and design, you’ll deliver improvements to Severn Trent Water’s wastewater network in line with the company’s business plan. Typical risks requiring validation include sewer flooding, growth, water framework directive / CSO performance, and sewage pumping station performance.

You’ll also assess project-specific hydraulic modelling requirements, including model audits/fitness for use assessments, model build and verification, and risk validation of catchment drivers.

Some of your key responsibilities will include:

• Undertaking hydraulic modelling activity to meet current and future demands, working closely with Tactical Asset Planning, the Capital Design & Delivery teams, and the wider business.
• Assessing hydraulic model fitness for use; scoping, procuring, and managing asset, flow, and catchment surveys.
• Building, updating, verifying models, and confirming model fitness for use to meet design standards.
• Conducting historical verification, engaging with customers and operational colleagues to understand asset and system performance.
• Performing catchment walkovers and attending surveys as necessary.
• Identifying root causes and mechanisms of network issues.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

This role is suitable for someone with Hydraulic Network Modelling experience.

You should have experience in wastewater network modelling using InfoWorks ICM or similar software, and in scoping projects including asset survey planning.

Competency in hydraulic modelling software and a thorough understanding of hydraulics and model limitations are essential.

You’ll need to be well-organized, detail-oriented, proactive, and able to communicate data clearly to diverse audiences. A positive attitude and caring nature are valued qualities.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, believing diversity enhances our learning and service to communities. We seek individuals who are engaged, motivated to contribute, and eager to make a difference.

IS THAT YOU?

• Leading pension scheme with employer matching (up to 15%)
• Sharesave scheme at a discounted rate
