LET’S TELL YOU MORE

We have an exciting new opportunity to join our growing team as a Network Optimisation Technician within the Pressure Monitoring and Response Team (PMART)

Supporting the delivery of our Water Services goals and based in Coventry, our PMART team, within Chief Engineer, are dedicated to ensuring that we meet, maintain, and improve the levels of service to our customers' water supply. In this role you’ll work 37 hours per week, Monday – Friday, with occasional travel to other sites across the Severn Trent region.

As an Optimisation Technician, you will play a key role in ensuring that the quality of our core systems data is up to scratch. You will monitor various applications, analyse our asset data, interpret the information in relation to Water Services, and problem solve when data is wrong.

Producing and delivering great performance metrics to show how well the network is performing is important to support the crucial role Network Optimisations has in the business, so liaising with stakeholders and communicating the data in a clear way is vital.

We are committed to providing a supportive and dynamic work environment. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with a talented team, contribute to meaningful projects, and grow your career in a company that values innovation and excellence.

You’ll have the ability to learn how to navigate our corporate software, along with the use of office tools such as Excel. Your strong planning and organising skills will help keep our processes on track, and your ability to take ownership will bolster the time limited tasks in the role. We welcome your energy, collaborative skills and eye for detail which will be great additions to the team. Whilst prior knowledge or experience in the water industry would be a bonus, we can provide all the necessary training.
