Severn Trent

About the Company

Water is wonderful. Without it we'd be lost. With it, everything's possible. For every toothbrush, for every loo flushed. For the hot showers, the cool drinks, the cups of tea. But it's not just at the heart of our homes. It's at the heart of everything; our schools, our businesses, our hospitals. Saving lives, helping communities thrive.

We're Severn Trent, a diverse and amazing group of people who want to keep it that way. We bring you clean water and we take it away safely too. But it's not just what we do. It's how we do it: not just talking, but going over and above. Stepping up and rolling our sleeves up.

It's because we care. Not only about our water but our corner of the country. And we care for our amazing people who make all this possible. Don't just take our word for it; we're a Glassdoor Top 50 Company - one of the best employers in the UK right now.

At Severn Trent, we do more, because we care.
