Job description

24 hours a day, 365 days a year we serve 4.8 million households and businesses across the heart of the UK. Each cuppa drunk, each toilet flushed is only possible because of the 10,000 brilliant colleagues working across our patch. If you want to do more, because you care, we'd love to talk to you. There really is something for everyone here. With that in mind, we are looking for multiple Network Optimisation Support Technicians to join our Asset Planning (Waste Networks) Team. This role is based in Raynesway, Derby.

You’ll be organised and able to manage your own workload, working both independently and as part of a team. Confident using IT systems such as Microsoft Office and digital tools, you’ll be comfortable recording and handling data accurately.
