Want to do the best work of your life? Playing your part in making a big difference to the environment and communities we serve. Our people make Severn Trent a truly exciting and inclusive place to work – a place where you can be yourself and let your skills shine.

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.

Working within our forward-thinking Water Treatment department, you have the chance to join as a Team Manager and to lead the team in Staverton. You’ll be responsible for delivering high-quality drinking water for our customers and be expected to drive a real shift towards asset optimisation. The focus will be continuous improvement whilst working collaboratively with multiple stakeholders including the Water Treatment leadership team, capital delivery, planning & scheduling, water quality and process teams.

You’ll will lead, motivate, and develop the team ensuring safety, quality and competence are central to the way we work.

The role will include being part of a regional standby rota which operates 24/7, 365 days a year.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Your key accountabilities in helping us will be:

• You’ll proactively operate and manage all assets across Worcestershire Groundwater, Reservoirs & Boosters
• You’ll lead, motivate and develop a team of highly skilled technical operators, maintainers plus a Senior Technician to ensure minimal asset failure / maximum resilience.
• Lead performance improvement and sustainability through Comm Cells and ‘Safer Better Faster’ techniques.
• You’ll work collaboratively with multiple stakeholders including maintenance, capital delivery, property, water quality, ICA and water resources to ensure routine operational and longer-term investment objectives are delivered.
• Focus on operational failure cost and performance improvement/sustainability through continuous improvement tools and techniques. Responsible for driving these changes into the business and embed a culture of right 1st time.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

Experience of working within an operational environment with a focus on driving and sustaining performance improvements would be advantageous. You’ll also be working to tight deadlines, under pressure and with evolving and/or conflicting priorities including emergency situations. Having good analytical, facilitation and problem-solving skills with the ability to understand Management Information and solve problems on a daily would be beneficial. In addition, having good planning and organisational skills with the ability to set clearly defined goals, manage time effectively and identify and organise resources needed to accomplish tasks would be desirable.

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.

We want people who show up and roll their sleeves up. Restless spirits who are ready to be part of something bigger, who care, who really care... because when you really care, you’ll go above and beyond. When you really care you don’t just talk about it, you do more.

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.

We do more, because we care.
