Mechanical Maintenance Technician

Starting from £41,762.08 + Overtime + Annual Bonus (up to £1,500) + 25 days leave + 8 days Bank Holiday + Pay Increases + Excellent Benefits + Pension + Training + Progression + Home-Based + Van + Monday-Friday.

Severn Trent is hiring Mechanical Maintainers in the Birmingham region.

This is a regional field-based role, where you'll be based at our Frankley Water Treatment Works and provided with a company vehicle, mobile, safety gear, and tools. Hours: Mon-Thu 7:30-3:30, Fri 7:30-3:00 (flexibility on start and end times can be offered), plus standby will be required.

What You'll Need:

• NVQ Level 3 Mechanical qualification (or equivalent mechanical qualification)
• Full UK driving licence
• Experience in an industrial, manufacturing, process, energy, or utilities environment specifically uPVC pipework and dosing pumps
• Strong mechanical fault-finding, maintenance, and repair capability

Everything You Need To Know

Are you a Mechanical Engineer or Technician looking for specialist training, career progression, and premium overtime rates?

Our treatment works operate as complex process plants, just like those in manufacturing, energy, or other industrial sectors. If you've worked with process control systems and have a working knowledge of industrial mechanical installation requirements and standards, your skills will transfer seamlessly.

You'll also get specialist training, work with advanced mechanical systems, and help prevent issues before they happen - keeping communities and rivers safe.

This isn't just a job - it's a place to grow and build a career while making a real difference to the environment. You'll also be part of a close-knit local team - a work family - where you can build friendships, enjoy a laugh, and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

If you're passionate about mechanical engineering and want to join a nationally renowned business with ambitious goals, Severn Trent is where your skills - and your career - will thrive.

How We'll Reward And Care For You

It's not just a job; it's a career. We offer benefits that reward great work and award-winning training to help you reach your potential. Plus, you'll contribute to the environment and community too. Here are some of our favourites:

• 25 days holiday + bank holidays (and the ability to buy/ sell up to 5 days per year)
• Annual bonus scheme (of up to £1,500, which is subject to eligibility)
• Family-friendly policies (including a year off fully paid maternity and adoption leave)
• Leading pension scheme - we will double your contribution (up to 15% when you contribute 7.5%)
• Sharesave - the chance to buy Severn Trent plc shares at a discounted rate
• Dedicated training and development with our Academy
• Electric vehicle scheme and retail offers
• Two paid volunteering days per year

Career Development

This role has a clear, structured development path from Foundation to Skilled and Expert. Salary starts at £41,762.08, rising to £45,165.69 with qualifications and experience, supported through formal training and assessment.

And it doesn't stop there! Paid training and development form a core part of this role, with a requirement to work toward gaining a recognised second skill.

While electrical qualifications or experience are advantageous, they are not essential, as full upskilling, formal training, and structured competency development will be provided.

Successful applicants will be supported through technical training, on-the-job development, and assessment to achieve the required competency and progress within the role.
