As this role works across the whole of Severn Trent Group, it will be your responsibility for managing the process for internal and external regulatory investigations, to professional, ethical and quality standard. In addition to this, you will be responsible for the coordination and monitoring of EIR and Ofwat requests, ensuring that responses meet the required regulatory standards and SLAs.

Do you have the drive and willingness to ensure that as a business Severn Trent keep to their statutory obligations to ensure that we keep our customers and communities as safe as possible?

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.
