Job Description

Our innovation strategy is simple - We want to solve the challenges we have today as well as find answers to some of our industry\'s bigger long-term challenges. Whether it\'s delivering water that is always good to drink, reducing waste in our processes with energy efficient technologies or improving visibility of the network, our 150+ strong team of innovators are working day in day out to make it happen. If you want to do more because you care, we\'d love to talk to you. There really is something for everyone here.

We are currently recruiting for a Project Assurance Technician to support our Asset Strategy & Planning team.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Reporting to the Capital Assurance Manager, the Project Assurance Technician will be responsible for developing and delivering a suitable risk-based advisory inspection programme of capital and operation asset provision, repair, maintenance and replacement in defined target areas with the Severn Trent and Hafren Dyfrydwy regions. You will monitor compliance with health and safety, environmental, quality and water hygiene requirements, analyse findings for continuous improvement, provide informed insights for construction teams and influence positive culture. You will identify and document root causes for inspection and report findings where appropriate and proactively participate in root cause investigation meetings as required.

WHAT YOU\'LL BRING TO THE ROLE

Ideally degree qualified in a relevant engineering or technical discipline, you will have strong experience of undertaking some form of auditing or inspections. You will have extensive construction sector and project delivery experience, with good communication and organisational/ planning skills. Ideally you will have an understanding of water distribution and waste collection systems including commissioning procedures, and an understanding of water hygiene requirements, however this is not mandatory. What you will have is the ability to work alone using your own initiative, able to influence and communicate to a diverse set of stakeholders at all levels and a willingness to continue improve and personally develop to ensure the assurance team objectives are achieved.

Of course, it\'s important that we attract the right skill sets, and those with the right experience but we value character, positivity, and a caring attitude in equal weight.

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 employ thousands of people from across our community who really care about what they do. Because that is how we do what we do.

And when it comes to inclusion, we\'re making sure we keep up the progress with our wonderful working groups - LGBTQ+, Women in Operations & STEM, Disability and Ethnicity, who help us do just that.
