Internal Audit Analyst

 

At Severn Trent, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re in the top 5% of utility companies worldwide when it comes to employee engagement and ranked as a Top 50 UK Employer on Glassdoor. Join us in making a positive impact on the environment and our communities, while being valued and supported in a truly inclusive workplace.

If you want to do more, because you care, we want you on our team.

 

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

 

As our Internal Audit Analyst reporting into Rachel Wilson (Internal Audit Manager), you will be part of the planning and undertaking of internal audits across the various business areas we have in Severn Trent Group.

 

You will play a key part in improving the management of risks to business processes and objectives throughout the organisation and this will be done by building excellent relationships with Managers and colleagues across the business.

 

Do you have a key eye for detail and the ability to influence different stakeholders?

Well, if you do, read on.

 

Key responsibilities will include:   

 

  • Perform high quality detailed reviews and assessments of a wide range of key business activities and the controls in place, within prescribed timetables.
  • Prepare high quality, concise audit reports (with clear executive summaries) for delivery to Senior Managers and Directors within the business.
  • Liaise effectively with Strategic Leads, Business Leads, outsourced partners and other business staff, to build good working relationships.
  • Identify process and control weaknesses in the management of business risks and make practical and commercial recommendations for improvement.
  • Coach a sound understanding of risk and control into the employee population.
  • Provide value adding, ad-hoc advice and input to business process change.

 

You'll be based at our Severn Trent Centre in Coventry. With this being such a critical role, we’re looking for someone who can join us 37 hours a week.

 

HOW WE WORK

 

You'll join a caring culture that collaborates to achieve, grow, and develop. Our employee engagement scores are among the highest globally in energy and utilities. That’s why, we value in-person moments to keep our culture alive but also understand the flexibility working from home can bring. So, you'll usually find us in the office, but working from home is supported, when you need it.

 

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

 

We’ll be looking for you to ideally have an understanding of the fundamentals of risk and control but this is not essential.  We would want you to have an ability to assess processes though, along with the assessing risks and controls and developing practical and commercial recommendations for improvement. A broad knowledge of commercial and operational activities in business will be useful as will a good understanding of risk and control ‘best practice’ techniques.

 

Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity, and a caring attitude matter too. We welcome and celebrate diverse individuals, knowing they help us better serve our communities. We seek people who get involved, want to be part of something bigger, and make a difference because they care.

 

HOW WE’LL REWARD AND CARE FOR YOU

 

It’s not just a job you’ll get here, you’ll get a career too.

We have a range of benefits that reward and recognise great work and award-winning training to ensure you reach your potential. And we’ll also help you play your part in looking after the environment and the community in which we live.  

 

Here’s some of our favourites:  

  • 28 days holiday + bank holidays (and the ability to buy/ sell up to 5 days per year)
  • Annual bonus scheme (of up to £2,250 per annum based on company performance)
  • Leading pension scheme – we will double your contribution (up to 15% when you contribute 7.5%)
  • Sharesave – the chance to buy Severn Trent Plc shares at a discounted rate
  • Dedicated training and development with our ‘Academy’
  • Electric vehicle scheme and retail offers
