• Job Description

  Req#: 7814

  Working within our Dams & Reservoirs team, you will assist in undertaking technical duties on statutory and non-statutory reservoirs throughout the Severn Trent and Hafren Dyfrdwy regions.

  We have a fantastic opportunity for an Assistant Reservoir Technician to join our team in Wrexham and the wider ST/HD area. This is an important role that provides technical and administrative support to the team of Reservoir Technicians and Reservoir Supervising Engineers.

  Our purpose is taking care of life’s essentials, but we’re also big on making a difference, not just because we should but because we care.

  So if you want to do more because you care, we’d love to talk to you. There really is something for everyone here.

  EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

  Combining both practical hands-on site time and office-based analytics you will be instrumental in:

  • Collating and presenting data to ensure compliance with the Reservoirs Act 1975.
  • The planning and scheduling of inspections at statutory and non-statutory reservoirs for all types of dams and reservoirs.
  • The raising and progressing of purchase orders and general administrative support.
  • Collecting critical measurements from monitoring instruments such as piezometers.
  • Supporting all areas of reservoir safety.

  WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

  Of course, it’s important that we attract the right skill sets, and those with the right experience but we value character, positivity, and a caring attitude in equal weight.

  You’ll ideally have an engineering qualification or significant experience within the field. You will have great communication skills both written and verbal and a good working knowledge of office IT systems.

  There is the amazing development opportunity to stretch and grow your skills progressing to a Reservoir Technician with access to a variety of training courses.

  You’ll need to have a full UK driving license for this role as it does involve travel and occasional overnight stays across both ST and HD regions. The role is both office based and involves working across various types of reservoirs in all weather conditions.

  When working in remote locations you’ll be accountable for your own health & safety and have a duty of care to your colleagues & anyone affected by the work you do. Therefore, bringing your experience of working safely and operating compliantly is a must have for this role.

  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. We employ thousands of people from across our community who really care about what they do. Because that is how we do what we do.

  And when it comes to inclusion, we’re making sure we keep up the progress with our wonderful working groups – LGBTQ+, Women in Operations & STEM, Disability and Ethnicity, who help us do just that.

  WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

  Working here isn’t just a job. You can build a career at Severn Trent. We’ll reward you for it, too. We have a range of benefits that recognise great work, and award-winning training to help you reach your potential. And we’ll also help you play your part in looking after the environment and the communities where we live.

  With that in mind, here are just some of our favourite perks that you’ll get being part of the Seven Trent family:

  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays (and the ability to buy/ sell up to 5 days per year),
  • Annual bonus scheme (of up to £1,500 per annum based on company performance),
  • Leading pension scheme – we will double your contribution (up to 15% when you contribute 7.5%),

  • 10% monthly discount with Busy Bee Nurseries, and one-week free childcare ,
  • Dedicated training and development with our ‘Academy’
  • Electric vehicle scheme and retail offers,
  • Family friendly policies,
  • Two volunteering days per year.
