Electrician

We’re Severn Trent Services, part of Severn Trent.

We’re a collection of businesses offering different types of commercial water and wastewater services to organisations across Great Britain.

Do you want to feel trusted and empowered to do a great job? If so, join our family.
 

Join us as an Industrial Electrician. You’ll be responsible for carrying out general repairs, investigating and rectifying faults, and completing scheduled maintenance to ensure the reliability of our assets. 

Working as part of a collaborative team, you’ll develop your commercial and/or industrial experience with assets such as electrical control panels, motor testing, level control equipment, instrumentation, and inverters.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
 

As our new Electrician you’ll be working and travelling between our water and wastewater assets on various contracts across the UK. You’ll work in the Southern region for this particular role, including London, Hampshire, and Kent.

Some of the other key accountabilities are:
 

• Ensuring that unsafe electrical installations are managed safely to minimise risk - whilst identifying the problem and taking remedial action as required.
   
• Advising the associated area manager and supervisor of any existing or new electrical installations that are unsafe or that do not meet current regulatory or industry best practice standards.
   
• Providing accurate and detailed reports to enable contractors to cost any larger remedial works required.
   
• Maintaining site standards to food-grade level and ensuring your knowledge is up to date with current regulations and requirements.
   
• Operating and maintaining the highest health and safety standards in accordance with all company policies and procedures.
   

In exchange, we’ll provide a company van and fuel card to allow you to start work from home. We’ll also invest in your personal development by providing CompEx training that, once passed, qualifies you for an additional allowance.
 

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE
 

As a minimum, we’re looking for an NVQ level 3 (or equivalent) in an electrical discipline, transferable skills from other industries, and a full UK Driving Licence. Having your 18th Edition alongside experience in carrying out electrical inspection, installation, and testing in a commercial and industrial setting would be highly desirable.

Additionally working with mechanical control systems, telemetry systems, pumps, gearboxes, and general mechanical/electrical plant would also be advantageous.
 

The right skills and experience are important. But if you have the right character, positivity, and a caring attitude, we want to talk to you, too.
 

We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality, as we know diverse minds, experiences, and backgrounds help us learn and better serve our communities. We want people who show up and get involved, those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care. Is that you?
 

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU
 

Working here isn’t just a job. You can build a career at Severn Trent Services. We’ll reward you for it, too. We have a range of benefits that recognise great work and award-winning training to help you reach your potential. And we’ll also help you play your part in looking after the environment and the communities where we live and work.
