At Severn Trent, we're embarking on an exciting £415m project to replace 870 miles of old water pipes across the Midlands. This is the biggest investment in water infrastructure in the region in a decade, set to improve water quality, reduce leaks, and make water supply more reliable for millions of people. The new pipes installed will last up to 100 years.
We are creating new jobs across the region, with opportunities for those based in Birmingham, Nottingham, or anywhere in between. Join us to help shape the future of water in the Midlands.
We are looking for a Network Construction Engineer to work as part of a team to successfully deliver Mains Renewal construction activities at specific sites within one of the four regions (North, South, East, West).

This role involves significant, large-scale construction activities on-site, including excavation, installation, testing, and commissioning of new mains and assets.

2. Coordinate with Network Control at critical scheme stages, support the Lead Operative in construction activities such as pipe fusing, service laying, and overlanding.
3. Perform valving due diligence, chlorination, and sampling of mains and services following SOPs and SSOW.
4. Carry out operational activities like flushing, cleansing of mains and hydrants, and oversee installation of pressure control valves, managing pressure, flow, and disinfection, including high and low-risk valve operations.

The ideal candidate will have a full driving license, preferably with a National Water Hygiene and NRSWA certification, and significant experience in the utility industry.
Good communication skills and the ability to build successful working relationships are essential, as is experience in risk identification and opportunity recognition.
