Job description

Think Severn Trent is just about water? Think again. Our Transport team keeps over 3,000 vehicles on the road — from tankers and vans to company cars — making sure our people and resources get where they need to be, safely and efficiently.

But we’re not just maintaining a fleet — we’re helping build a better future. We’re committed to 100% electric vehicles by 2030, cutting carbon emissions, and using 100% renewable energy. It’s all part of our mission to protect the environment and support the communities we serve.

As a fleet technician, you’ll play a vital role in keeping essential services running —whilst making a real difference both under the bonnet and in your community. We’d love to hear from you.
