Our people are what makes Severn Trent a truly exciting and inclusive place to work. We’re a team of over 9,000 people with a purpose to deliver one of life’s essentials, and we do it all while thriving in our unique culture.

We’re a growing, Midlands-based FTSE100 listed company and welcome people from all walks of life, celebrating their individuality, as we know diverse minds, experiences, and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our customers and the communities we represent.

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 rewarding career, Severn Trent is the place to be.

Due to a new programme to deliver a full mains renewal across our region, we are recruiting to scale our teams for this work.

This is your opportunity to be part of this transformation!

We are looking for a Network Logistics Operative responsible for managing large-scale construction activity across multiple sites.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

As our Network Logistics Operative, you’ll ensure the safe, timely, and compliant delivery of construction equipment and materials onsite. This includes import/export of reinstatement materials, delivery of fittings, and use of mechanical excavation equipment and vehicles.

You’ll drive Logistics vehicles, mainly HGV “Grab” lorries, and undertake the safe removal of waste materials and spoil, as well as delivering materials to facilitate main renewal phases.

The role involves transporting and delivering plant and equipment, completing risk assessments, and some construction activities like sectioning and service laying to support Network Construction Teams.

This role requires a 42-hour work week, Monday to Friday, starting at 7:00 AM, ending at 4:30 PM, with a half-hour early finish at 4:00 PM on Fridays.

Key Accountabilities:

• Transporting reinstatement materials and completing risk assessments.
• Collaborating with supervisors and operatives, including asbestos removal and disposal.
• Ensuring safe excavations and maintaining access, liaising with customers as needed.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

Candidates should hold a Class 2 Drivers Licence, preferably a CE licence, with HGV experience, and possess a HIAB qualification and NRSWA Operative certification. Experience in utility/construction industries and good digital tachograph knowledge are also important.

We value the right character, positivity, and caring attitude as much as skills and experience.

We celebrate diversity and encourage individuals who are eager to contribute and make a difference.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

We offer a range of benefits, including holiday allowances, bonuses, pension contributions, sharesave schemes, training, EV schemes, family policies, volunteering days, and potential earnings from a Mains Renewal scheme.

WHAT’S NEXT

We look forward to your application. Please prepare an updated CV and set aside a few minutes to apply.
