Job description

At Severn Trent, 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 is set to improve water quality, reduce leaks and make water supply more reliable for millions of people. The new pipes we are installing will last up to 100 years.

To bring this vision to life, we are creating new jobs across the region with your base in Birmingham, Nottingham, or anywhere in between. We've got opportunities for you to help shape the future of water in the Midlands.

We are looking for a Network Logistics Operative, to come and be responsible for managing significant, large scale construction activity across multiple sites.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

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

You’ll also drive Logistics vehicles, predominantly HGV “Grab” lorries. This role will undertake the safe and efficient removal of waste materials and spoil, as well as the delivery of new usable materials to facilitate the completion of main renewal phases.

Additionally, you’ll transport and deliver all types of plant and equipment to support the Network Construction team and be responsible for completing dynamic risk assessments. It will also involve some construction activity, such as sectioning up and service laying, to support the Network Construction Teams.

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

Key Accountabilities

• Responsible for transporting reinstatement materials to and from the compound/site. Includes delivery of fittings and the use of mechanical excavation equipment and vehicles, and completing dynamic risk assessments.
• Collaborate closely and effectively with the Network Logistics supervisor and Network Construction Operatives, fostering a collaborative work environment and facilitating the safe and effective removal and disposal of asbestos.
• Ensure all excavations are safe and secure, and that all domestic and commercial access is maintained while liaising with customers where required, providing support and updates throughout each DMA renewal.

What You’ll Bring To The Role

For this role, the right candidate will hold a Class 2 Driver's Licence, minimum category C (preferably CE) Driver's Licence, HGV Qualification, and experience of driving HGVs (or working towards).

You’ll also have experience of working in the utility and/or construction industry, have a HIAB qualification (Grab qualification), and NRSWA Operative.

Additionally, you’ll have an excellent track record of successfully driving Logistics vehicles, particularly HGV “Grab” lorries, excellent customer service skills, and know-how to carry out successful transportation and delivery of plant, tools, and equipment. You should also have a good understanding of digital tachograph and driving/working time regulations, ensuring compliance with legal requirements.

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 involved. 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 recognize 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 favorites perks that you’ll get being part of the Severn Trent family:

• 25 days holiday + bank holidays (and the ability to buy/sell up to 5 days per year)
• Annual bonus scheme (of up to £1,500 per annum based on company performance)
