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

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
In this role as a Telemetry Field Engineer you will be responsible for ensuring the functionality and availability of Severn Trent’s 7,000 telemetry outstations, which serve as the ‘eyes and ears’ of the company’s operational assets.
A covering letter for this role would be advisable confirming you have the qualifications needed or equivalent.
For this role you must have an Electrical NVQ Level 3 or equivalent.
These outstations are critical to the performance of Severn Trent’s operational ODIs and enable the Operational Control Centres to effectively respond to asset failure alarms. Your primary objective will be to complete any necessary field work to ensure that the entire outstation estate remains fully operational and available 100% of the time.
