LET’S CUT STRAIGHT TO IT

Want to do the best work of your life? Playing your part in making a big difference to the environment and communities we serve. Our people make Severn Trent a truly exciting and inclusive place to work – a place where you can be yourself and let your skills shine.

Our purpose is taking care of life’s essentials, but we’re also big on making a difference, not just because we should but because we care.

We have an exciting opportunity within our Water Regulations Team to become a Technical Specialist on a 12 month secondment.

The Water Quality Regulations Team supports Severn Trent Water to ensure compliance with the drinking water quality regulations. The team is also the primary conduit through which all interaction with our quality regulator, the Drinking Water Inspectorate, occurs and as such there is a strong element of stakeholder management within the role. As part of a team, you will be required to be involved in compliance reporting, critically assessing investigations, identifying areas to help drive improved performance to reduce impact on regulatory performance metrics. You will need to be able to articulate complex investigations in both written reports and verbally to key stakeholders.

Think this sounds like you? Let me tell you more.

LET’S TELL YOU MORE

Your key accountabilities in helping us will be:

• To provide the primary company interface with the Drinking Water Inspectorate to ensure that routine communication, liaison and reporting is completed to a high quality with no regulatory criticism
• To manage the interface with DWI in such a way that positive relationships are maintained and best possible outcomes
• To manage the interface with the business to ensure there is clear and wider understanding of regulatory requirements and the implications to the business of not meeting these
• Provision of accurate and timely briefings for the business on key communications from the DWI
• Support on all aspects of the water quality regulations including historic, current and emerging issues and to minimise the impact of implementation of new regulations and guidance 

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

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 want people who show up and roll their sleeves up. Restless spirits who are ready to be part of something bigger, who care, who really care... because when you really care, you’ll go above and beyond. When you really care you don’t just talk about it, you do more.

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.

We do more, because we care.
