Job description

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

At Severn Trent, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re in the top 5% of utility companies worldwide when it comes to employee engagement and ranked as a Top 50 UK Employer on Glassdoor. Join us in making a positive impact on the environment and our communities, while being valued and supported in a truly inclusive workplace.

If you want to do more, because you care, we want you on our team.

Our Waste Network Resolution Team (all things Complex Civil work) are looking for a new Site Supervisor to join their growing team!

You’ll be based at our Strongford site in Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire. With this being such a critical role, we’re looking for someone who can join us 37 hours a week, including some evenings and weekends on a standby rota.

Our team is dedicated to safely take away waste water from our customer’s through our infrastructure and you’ll take ownership of Strategic Network issues, building relationships with internal and external stakeholders to facilitate the effective delivery of operational works whilst minimising the impact on our customers and their communities.

Some of your other key accountabilities will include:

• Proactively manage and enhance both the internal and external relationship with all key parties including contractors, STW teams, Network Control, Waste Water Treatment, Customer Delivery, and other supporting departments
• Engineering Gravity and pressurised solutions for new lay schemes
• Undertake isolation on the network for delivery of planned works and support isolation during reactive events
• Ensure all Strategic Network repair vehicles and equipment are in a constant state of maintenance and readiness to deploy, with your teams highly skilled, trained and confident in how to safely and effectively use them
• Work with the Tactical Asset and Operability team to provide operational and technical input to ensure capital investment provides an end product compatible with operational needs and maintenance practices
• Ensure full compliance with all regulatory and company requirements and managing safety and productivity on site
• The ability to proactively diagnose and solve problems to give a right first-time solution

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

It would be advantageous to have experience in supervisory or management position or exhibit relevant leadership behaviours and be confident working collaboratively with contract partners and stakeholders across a large geographical area. You’ll ideally have experience of isolation operations on a network i.e. safety procedures and an understanding of hydraulics and the effects this can have on pipe integrity.

You’ll previously have worked with deep excavations, large diameter repairs and been exposed to the operation of a large plant and equipment. A full UK driving licence is required for the role.

Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity, and a caring attitude matter too. We welcome and celebrate diverse individuals, knowing they help us better serve our communities. We seek people who get involved, want to be part of something bigger, and make a difference because they care.

HOW WE’LL REWARD AND CARE FOR YOU

It’s not just a job; it’s a career. We offer benefits that reward great work and award-winning training to help you reach your potential. Plus, you’ll contribute to the environment and community too. Here are some of our favourites:

• 28 days holiday + bank holidays (and the ability to buy/ sell up to 5 days per year)
• Annual bonus scheme (of up to £2,250 per annum based on company performance)
• Leading pension scheme – we will double your contribution (up to 15% when you contribute 7.5%)
• Sharesave – the chance to buy Severn Trent Plc shares at a discounted rate
• Dedicated training and development with our ‘Academy’
• Electric vehicle scheme and retail offers
• Family friendly policies
• Two volunteering days per year
