Supplying wholesome drinking water, treating wastewater and recycling this back to the environment responsibly is no mean feat. We serve around 8 million people across the Midlands and Wales and unlike other businesses, our delivery is non-negotiable. It’s a matter of life.
Many of our employees are also our customers, so we truly take pride in what we do! Employing people from across our communities and beyond, Severn Trent is an exciting and inclusive place to work – a place where you can be curious, can be ‘Wonderfully You’ and where you can truly make an impact to our environment, now and for future generations.
Let's tell you more
Apprenticeship Programmes are a great way to earn and learn! Our Apprentice Cyber Security Programme offers the perfect blend of personal and professional development, exposing you to the core of our business. Entering an apprenticeship scheme with us involves working towards the role of a fully-fledged professional, earning a salary, whilst also being able to maintain a sense of academic achievement.
At Severn Trent we provide the perfect mix between hands-on experience and a formal qualification, enabling our apprentices to make a real lasting difference to our customers and communities, not just for now, but far into the future.
You’ll be supported every step of the way, by your line manager and mentor. With almost all personal data now stored online, cyber security attacks have the potential to completely ruin businesses - not to mention people's lives - in the process. You’ll work with our cyber security to prevent attacks that could harm our organisation.
The leading purpose of working in Cyber Security is to protect sensitive files from hackers, Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, and secure our customers information and personal data your role is usually office based.
