Why Severn Trent?

At Severn Trent Water, we’re here to take care of one of life’s essentials.

We bring our wonderful water to our customers whilst taking their waste away safely, so that they can put the kettle on or jump in the shower without a second thought.
As one of the largest regulated water companies across England and Wales, we really want to make a positive difference to the communities we serve. We have some really big commitments to our customers, our environment, our society and our colleagues that we know, can only be achieved through our inclusive and energetic culture.

We employ over 6,500 people in a wide range of positions. We have a rich mix of customers of different cultures, interests, and experiences. Our region includes some of the most affluent areas of the country as well as some of the most deprived.

We have more towns and cities than any other water company but we also serve predominantly rural counties, home to some of the UK’s most beautiful environments, including the Wye River Valley, the Peak District, Sherwood Forest and the National Forest.

Our ambition is to have a workforce that reflects the people and communities we serve.
