Job description

At Severn Trent, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re in the top 5% of utility companies worldwide when it comes to employee engagement and ranked as a Top 50 UK Employer on Glassdoor. Join us in making a positive impact on the environment and our communities, while being valued and supported in a truly inclusive workplace.

If you want to do more, because you care, we want you on our team.

LET’S TELL YOU MORE

We’re looking for a talented Business Analyst to join our dynamic Technology team. If you’re passionate about solving business problems, thrive in collaborative environments, and have strong stakeholder management skills, this could be the perfect role for you. You’ll also play a key part in mentoring our Associate Business Analysts, helping them grow and develop in their careers.

Drive Value Through Agile and Waterfall Delivery

Guided by our Principal Business Analyst, you’ll help teams prioritise work based on value and ensure delivery aligns with our Train cadence. You’ll lead business analysis activities across sprints in an Agile environment, from backlog refinement to defining acceptance criteria. When a Waterfall approach is more suitable, you’ll take a structured lead capturing end‑to‑end requirements and supporting predictable delivery outcomes. Whether iterating toward MVPs or delivering fully defined solutions, you’ll ensure the method fits the need and drives measurable value.

Be a Strategic Partner in Technology Projects

You’ll collaborate closely with Product Owners, Architects, Project Managers, and Test Leads to ensure alignment with our Technology Principles. By identifying risks and dependencies early and keeping delivery teams focused on solving the right problems, you’ll be instrumental in driving successful outcomes across our technology portfolio.

You’ll be based at our Severn Trent Centre head office in Coventry. You’ll work within our dedicated Business Analyst Team, working on a variety of different projects which will put all of your skills to the test. With this being such a critical role, we’re looking for someone who can join us37 hours a week,Monday to Friday.

HOW WE WORK

You’ll join a caring culture that collaborates to achieve, grow, and develop. Our employee engagement scores are among the highest globally in energy and utilities. That’s why, we value in-person moments to keep our culture alive but also understand the flexibility working from home can bring. So, you’ll usually find us in the office, but working from home is supported, when you need it.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Your technical experience will be desirable to enable the support provided across the lifecycle to include Application and Infrastructure Management, implementation support (testing, training and implementation) and appreciation of business change to provide input and support to Group Transformation.

Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity, and a caring attitude matter too. 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 seek people who get involved, want to be part of something bigger, and make a difference because they care.

HOW WE’LL REWARD AND CARE FOR YOU IN RETURN

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:
