Jay, Projects Team

"It’s a daunting transitioning into civilian life, it left me lacking purpose within my career, until I joined Severn Trent which aligned with my personal goals of helping make a difference and future career aspirations."

Sarah, Physical and Biological Manager

"I was already serving in the Reserve Forces when I joined, and luckily, the company is hugely supportive of our Reserve Forces.  I feel hugely supported by my Manager and the wider Business, and I feel that both roles complement each other; Severn Trent has benefited from things I’ve learnt in the military and vice versa."

George, Projects Team

"Transitioning from the British Army into Severn Trent presented several challenges but leaning on the experiences and skills which I developed during my time in the military has aided me and proved invaluable. Teamwork, adaptability and resilience are skills which I honed in the British Army and are equally as valuable within a corporate structure."

Who we help

We understand the challenges associated with transitioning from military to civilian life, and proudly hold Gold Status with the Armed Forces Covenant. This status reflects our unwavering commitment to supporting service leavers and their families.

We’re dedicated to assisting military veterans, reservists, and their families in transitioning to fulfilling careers beyond the military.

Reservists welcome

We recognise the valuable contributions made by members of the reserve forces.

As a Volunteer Reservist or Regular Reservist, you'll enjoy the flexibility to attend training days, weekends, and annual camps without any concerns about your continued benefits. Plus, we provide up to 10 days of additional paid leave.
