Overview
LET’S CUT STRAIGHT TO ITAt Severn Trent, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re in the top 5% of utility companies worldwide for employee engagement, and we’re equally proud of our strong Glassdoor score — reflecting how much our people love working here.
Join us to make a positive impact on the environment and our communities, while being valued and supported in a truly inclusive workplace. If you want to do more, because you care, we want you on our team.
What you’ll do
Working within our forward-thinking Waste Water Recycling department, the role will be to safely operate and maintain a diverse range of equipment at our Sewage Treatment works and Sewage Pumping Station sites across the RETFORD area. You’ll protect and enhance our region’s environment while providing an essential service to the community. You will be responsible for ensuring our sites and assets are operated effectively, efficiently and safely, in compliance with statutory, company & treatment works policies and procedures. With support and training you’ll become part of a team of experts who are at the front line of enhancing our region’s rivers. Day to day you’ll ensure our treatment processes are working optimally to deliver this important work. There will be plenty of people on hand to support you and help you succeed, and you’ll be encouraged to contribute ideas to continually improve day-to-day activities. The role has core working hours Monday to Friday, with participation in a 24/7 stand-by rota.
What we’re looking for
Having experience in Wastewater Treatment, Sludge Treatment or Sewage Pumping Stations and associated process knowledge is welcome but not essential. If you have a passion to learn we will support you with the relevant training.
We are looking for people who demonstrate a positive outlook and behaviours, who can work under their own initiative both unsupervised and within a team environment. We are looking for problem solvers who want to make a positive impact by finding ways to help us work more efficiently and effectively. A flexible approach and the ability to react quickly and efficiently to changes on any given day or over the course of the job role are important. A full UK driving licence is essential. The successful candidate will be required to achieve the Level 2 – Waste Water Process Operator qualification as part of their continuous development, delivered by our Academy.

The role holder is likely to be based at one of our main sewage treatment works depending on home location but could also start from home and travel to sites locally. You will be provided with a vehicle for business use, plus safety clothing and tools appropriate to the job. The position 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 beyond your normal day-to-day activities.
