Our people are what make 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, 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. We believe diverse minds, experiences, and backgrounds help us learn and better serve our customers and communities.

It’s an exciting time to join us as we aim to deliver bigger and better over the next 5-year regulatory period. If you’re seeking a rewarding career, Severn Trent is the place to be.

Due to a new programme to renew mains across our region, we are recruiting to scale our teams for this significant 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 handling reinstatement materials, fittings, and operating mechanical excavation equipment and vehicles.

You’ll drive Logistics vehicles, mainly HGV “Grab” lorries, and undertake waste removal, material delivery, and some construction activities like sectioning and service laying to support the Network Construction team.

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

Key Accountabilities:

• Transport reinstatement materials and complete dynamic risk assessments.
• Work closely with the Network Logistics supervisor and Construction Operatives, ensuring safe removal and disposal of asbestos.
• Ensure excavations are safe, maintain access, and communicate with customers during DMA renewal.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

Applicants should hold a Class 2 Drivers Licence, preferably a CE Licence, HGV Qualification, and experience driving HGVs or working towards it. Experience in utility/construction industries, HIAB (Grab) qualification, and NRSWA Operative certification are desirable.

You should have a strong track record of driving Logistics vehicles, excellent customer service skills, and knowledge of tachograph and driving regulations to ensure legal compliance.

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

We celebrate individuality and diversity, seeking individuals eager to contribute and make a difference.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

Working at Severn Trent offers career development, competitive benefits, and the chance to contribute to environmental and community well-being.

Benefits include 25 days holiday + bank holidays, an annual bonus, a pension scheme with doubled contributions, share purchase options, training, EV schemes, family policies, volunteering days, and an incentive scheme with earning potential up to £10,000 annually.
