Field Technician

Hello, we’re Severn Trent Services, the commercial arm of the Severn Trent Group. We provide water and waste services to companies nationwide, including the MoD and The Coal Authority.

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.

We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality. Diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to better serve our customers and the communities where they live.

As a Field Technician, you will be responsible for operating and maintaining water and wastewater systems across multiple sites, identifying faults, and ensuring effective solutions. You’ll play a key role in customer service, helping to build strong relationships and maintain satisfaction.

Some of your key accountabilities will be:

• Undertaking day‑to‑day operations of water and wastewater assets to defined internal quality standards.
• Fault‑finding, installing, repairing, inspecting, replacing, and maintaining aspects of fixed plant and equipment as requested to ensure it functions safely and effectively.
• Providing timely and accurate feedback on work to maintain up‑to‑date information and status of any allocated work.
• Maintaining professional expertise to repair/maintain a wide range of plant and equipment.
• Responding to asset failures across numerous sites and undertaking immediate fault diagnosis to restore service of the asset.
• Identifying appropriate spares needed for effective repair/maintenance of equipment based upon purchasing guidelines.
• Exercising judgement on equipment spend to balance safe repair with cost‑effectiveness, and providing feedback on asset conditions to assist ongoing maintenance.

This role dictates that you start from home and work across your allocated region, so a full UK driving licence is essential. There is a requirement to be on call 1 week in 7.

No experience is required as full training will be provided. The only requirement is that you have a full UK driving licence and a willingness to learn.

We employ thousands of people from across our community who truly care about what they do. We’re committed to inclusivity and support LGBTQ+, Women in Operations & STEM, Disability, and Ethnicity working groups.

Here are some of the perks you’ll receive as part of the Severn Trent Services family:

• Salary range between £25,876.82 – £31,894.28
• Company van (business use only) and fuel card
• Annual bonus scheme up to 15% of salary, based on company performance
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays (ability to buy/sell up to 5 days per year)
• Leading pension scheme – we double your contribution (up to 15% when you contribute 7.5%)
• Sharesave – chance to buy Severn Trent Plc shares at a discounted rate
• Dedicated training and development with our Academy
• Electric vehicle scheme and retail offers
• Family‑friendly policies
• Two volunteering days per year

We can’t wait to hear from you.
