Hello. We’re Severn Trent and we think water is wonderful. And we’re pretty keen on people, too.

24 hours a day, 365 (sometimes 366) days a year we serve 4.8 million households and business across the heart of the UK. Each cuppa drank, each toilet flushed is only possible because of the 7,000 brilliant team members working across our patch. 

We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality. We know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our customers and the communities where they live.

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

We’re looking for a Scheduler to join our Workforce Planning & Optimisation team in Pride Park, Derby to support our field operators and maintenance technicians by ensuring they have the right work, at the right time to maintain our assets.

In this role, your main responsibilities will be to;

• Regularly engage with our Operational Senior Technicians and Managers to manage scheduling changes.
• Handle rejection queues from your operational colleagues to plan work back in as quickly as possible after they have been rejected.
• Acknowledge alarms and plan in jobs, working with the Real Time Scheduling team and Operational colleagues.
• Work closely with Workflow Technicians to take on their plans, build them, fill in gaps and update systems such as Click, Escada and SAP ECC.

You may also be asked to cover for Workflow Technicians and Real Time Scheduling Technicians when there is lots of holiday.

In this role, you’ll be based at our Pride Park, Derby office. Your working hours will be Monday-Friday, between the hours of 8am – 5pm.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

Stakeholder management is key in this role as you’ll be liaising with colleagues in numerous teams, from Operations to Real Time Scheduling and Workflow Management to get jobs scheduled. You’ll love building relationships with others and adapting your communication style to suit others.

You’re a people focussed person, a strong communicator and happy to help others when they need support.

You’ll use your initiative to solve problems and call out issues to make others aware.

You bring a positive energy to a team and have a strong work ethic, happy to work hard to get what you need, done.

If you have a scheduling background, you’d be a perfect fit for this role. It would also be advantageous if you’re comfortable using Microsoft Excel.

The right skills and experience are important. But if you have the right character, positivity and a caring attitude we want to talk to you, too.  

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 want people who show up and get involve. Those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care. Is that you?
