At 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.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
We’re looking for a Senior Waste Customer Technician to join our Reactive Sewer Services Team, looking after the Wolverhampton region out of our Barnhurst site. You’ll be supporting the Customer Delivery Manager in overseeing the day-to-day operations of around multiple Jetting Operatives crews, helping to ensure our network runs smoothly and our customers receive the best possible service.
This is a hands-on role where you’ll be out and about across the county, helping to coordinate reactive works, resolve escalations, and support the delivery of high-quality wastewater services. While you won’t have direct reports, you’ll play a key role in guiding and supporting the wider team.
HOW WE WORK
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
With this being such a critical role, we’re looking for someone who can join us 37 hours a week Monday to Friday, including some evenings and weekends on a standby rota. You'll join a caring culture that collaborates to achieve, grow, and develop. Our employee engagement scores are among the highest globally in energy and utilities. That’s why, we value in-person moments to keep our culture alive and why for this role you’ll usually find us in the office during our working hours.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We’d love for you to have a passion for serving your local community. At Severn Trent, we cover 10 Counties across the Midlands and beyond and working in your area should bring you pride and that should follow through into the work you do.
Ideally, you’ll have:
- Experience in wastewater, drainage, or sewer operations.
- A background in supporting reactive, field-based teams.
- Strong organisational and communication skills.
- A proactive approach to problem-solving and customer service.
- A full UK driving licence.
Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity, and a caring attitude matter too. We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities. We seek people who get involved, want to be part of something bigger, and make a difference because they care.
