LETS CUT STRAIGHT TO IT

 

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.

 

With that in mind we’re looking for a Civil Engineer to help us as we do so.

 

 Do you hold  a Civil engineering degree or similar qualification? Or perhaps you have knowledge of Civil Engineering  in the water and wastewater sectors ? And are you self-motivated with the ability to manage challenging priorities?

 

 If so, then read on.

 

LET’S TELL YOU MORE

 

We are currently looking for a Civil Engineering Standards Specialist. This is an excellent opportunity for somebody with a Civil Engineering background looking to progress professionally and to  influence both company and industry standards. This is a key role to ensure our standards and specifications drive effective investment in civil assets and ensure continuous improvement via the assessment and implementation of innovative techniques and materials.

 

Working with both internal and external stakeholders the successful candidate will ensure our standards are effective whilst ensuring best practice is captured and innovation is introduced to standards in a managed way. To be successful it is key that you have proven experience in  effectively communicating and influencing stakeholders at all levels including customers.

 

 

You will be working with a Team of Standards Specialists to develop and manage the company’s asset standards  ensuring that our investment programme delivers safe, compliant, effective, sustainable and resilient assets .

 

 

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

 

The successful candidate will have knowledge and experience of:

 

• Above & below ground civil structures
• Gravity and pressure pipework

In addition to this core knowledge the successful candidate will possess excellent communication skills enabling them to ‘make the complex simple’ for stakeholders via:

 

• The development and maintenance of written standards and specifications
• Collaboration and engaging discussion
• Timely, clear and concise written updates and bulletins

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.
