Hello, we’re Severn Trent and we think water is wonderful. We’re keen on people too. We serve 4.8 million households and businesses across the heart of the UK, with 6,500 team members. We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality to better serve our customers and communities.
Overview
Working in the Water Resources team, you will be an integral part of Severn Trent’s Network Control function. This niche, specialised team is responsible for creating the daily production plan for our large Water Treatment Works. This means ensuring there is enough supply in our Strategic Grid and that water is produced at the lowest possible cost, while using a good mix of water sources. The team is also responsible for raw water storage management, bulk imports of water, forecasting demand, and coordinating planned works to ensure we have enough water to supply our customers every day of the year.

The key accountabilities of this role will include:
* Manage the Strategic Grid network, moving water to maintain reservoir levels and optimising daily setup.
* Create the daily production plan for Water Treatment Works, ensuring demand is met and water is produced cost-effectively.
* Coordinate planned works (interventions) at Water Treatment Works with operational colleagues, develop contingencies, create go criteria, and ensure no clashes on the Strategic Grid.
* Schedule and oversee infra and non-infra capital improvement programmes, strategic reservoir inspection programme, groundwater maintenance plan and other interventions which alter water supply.

* Monitor raw water storage levels and modify production plans to maintain storage capacity, including drought preparation and prevention.

* Engage with a wide range of stakeholders, including Water Treatment colleagues, Network Control Leads, and Senior Leaders throughout Severn Trent Water.
