Job description

Overview

Mechanical Maintenance Technician - Worcester

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.

We’re looking for a Mechanical Maintenance Technician to cover the South region (Evesham, Gloucester, Forest of Dean & Worcester). The role offers an opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking team working on a variety of equipment and assets, where you will have the opportunity to embrace curiosity and develop new skills outside of your day-to-day activities.

You will be based at one of our main sewage treatment works depending on home location and will be provided with a vehicle for business use, laptop, safety clothing and tools appropriate to the job. The core working hours are Monday to Friday, with participation in a 24/7 standby rota.

Responsibilities

• Proactively and reactively maintain the mechanical assets on site.
• Maintain pumps, chemical dosing, gear boxes, high pressure systems, gas systems, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, valves, motors, generators, drive belts, conveyors, and scrapers.
• Fabrication, lubrication and welding activities.
• Continuously improve the mechanical asset base.
• Complete lifting operations safely as per LOLER regs.
• Fault finding and diagnostics.
• Interpret and update mechanical drawings.
• Support the design and build of new processes.
• Own site mechanical performance for the site.
• Monitor treatment processes using SCADA and act on alarms as required.
• Proactively review the health and availability of assets on site.
• Ensure all relevant training including mechanical and maintenance training is up to date.

What we’re looking for

Along with your experience, you must hold…

• A full UK driving licence is required.

You’ll be expected to know how to work with process control systems and have a working knowledge of industrial mechanical installation requirements and standards. In Severn Trent we use a number of different devices on the job, so experience working with various IT systems is beneficial.

You must have sound diagnostic and problem-solving skills. Basic instrumentation skills are desirable but not essential as there will be an opportunity to upskill and develop a second skill set.

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.

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:

• Starting salary of £40,117
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays (and the ability to buy/ sell up to 5 days per year)
• Annual bonus scheme (up to £1,500, subject to eligibility)
• 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 paid volunteering days per year
