Temporary Admin Coordinator - Workforce Planning Team

Admin Coordinator (Job Build Technician)

Location: Pride Park, Derby
Pay: £14 per hour
Contract: Temporary, 6 months
Start date: Immediate

Morson Edge are currently partnering with Severn Trent to recruit temporary Admin Coordinators (Job Build Technicians) to join their Workforce Planning Team at Pride Park, Derby.

This is a great opportunity to join a team supporting the people who keep essential water services running across the region.

What will you be doing?

As an Admin Coordinator, you’ll make sure Severn Trent’s operational teams have everything they need to complete their jobs safely, compliantly and right first time.

Your role will include:

• Creating compliant permits and work packs for emergency and planned repair, renewal and installation works.
• Making sure all the information needed to complete each job is accurate and in place.
• Booking traffic management and managing other constraints where required.
• Liaising with Local Authorities to secure the necessary approvals.
• Working with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders to successfully build each permit.
• Providing field operatives with a complete work pack containing everything they need to carry out the job.
• Responding quickly to emergency works and changing priorities, switching to high-priority jobs when required.

Ultimately, you’ll play a key role in making sure work is properly planned and compliant before it reaches Severn Trent’s operational teams.

Working hours

You’ll work within a 06:30–20:00 working window on an 11-week rota, including 2 weekends in every 11.

And there’s a great Friday perk:

• Early/day shift: finish 30 minutes earlier every Friday.
• Late shift: start 30 minutes later every Friday.

About you

You’ll be a great fit for this role if you are:

• Methodical and analytical – you enjoy working through information logically and systematically.
• Highly organised – you can plan effectively and make sure permits are compliant.
• Detail-focused – you understand the importance of getting things right first time.
• A strong communicator – you’re confident liaising with a wide range of stakeholders, gathering information and managing expectations.
• Calm under pressure – you can react quickly when emergency work comes in and priorities change.

Previous experience in a similar administrative, planning, coordination or compliance-focused role would be beneficial, but the key qualities are organisation, attention to detail, communication and the ability to work at pace.

The location

You’ll be based at Severn Trent’s modern Pride Park site in Derby, with free parking available and plenty of local travel options.
