About the Role
Join Severn Trent's Graduate Operational and Environmental Leadership Programme and become a future leader in delivering one of life's essentials. This 30-month programme offers a unique opportunity to gain foundational knowledge and skills across Customer Operations, business strategy, and environmental management. You will experience three placements: 12 months in Customer Operations to understand the water and customer journey, 6 months focusing on business strategy and commercial acumen, and a final 12 months developing your capability as either an Operational Manager or Environmental Technical Specialist. Working in dynamic, 24/7 teams, you will learn how water is sourced, treated, and recycled responsibly, while contributing to sustainable initiatives and protecting the environment. Supported by mentors, line managers, and a dedicated New Talent Team, you will receive tailored development and career guidance to help you reach your full potential. Severn Trent values diversity and encourages graduates from all backgrounds to apply, fostering an inclusive culture that reflects the communities served.
