Scrum Master

 

LET’S CUT STRAIGHT TO IT

 

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.

 

LET’S TELL YOU MORE

 

We’re excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for a Scrum Master to join our team on a permanent basis. While our core delivery approach is agile, we also embrace a variety of project management methodologies to suit different needs. That’s why we’re looking for someone with hands-on experience across multiple delivery frameworks, and a strong track record of applying Agile principles to drive successful outcomes.

 

As a Scrum Master, you’ll play a pivotal role in coaching, inspiring, and empowering cross-functional teams to deliver their best work. Your ability to foster collaboration and remove obstacles will be key to maintaining momentum and ensuring continuous improvement. Equally important will be your stakeholder management skills—building trust, influencing decisions, and aligning expectations across all levels of the organisation.

 

This is a dynamic and rewarding role with a wide range of responsibilities. You’ll be expected to build strong relationships with internal and external partners, manage risks and scope within the project framework, and ensure business readiness throughout the delivery lifecycle. Most importantly, you’ll champion the evolution of agile practices, helping the team mature and adapt to deliver maximum value.

 

You'll be based at our Severn Trent Centre in Coventry.  You’ll work within one of our dedicated teams, working on a variety of projects & programmes. With this being such a critical role, we’re looking for someone who can join us 37 hours a week, Monday to Friday.

 

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’re looking for a Scrum Master with hands-on experience across Agile, Waterfall, PRINCE2, Lean, or hybrid models—someone who can flex their approach to fit the project. You’ll be confident using Agile toolsets and championing a culture of collaboration, empowerment, and continuous improvement.

 

Although we’re happy to consider all candidates with a good demonstrable experience of IT project delivery, our ideal candidate would have some experience of delivering within a Technical or IT Infrastructure capacity.

 

Equally important is your commercial mindset. You’ll help ensure we deliver real value that aligns with investment. If you bring the right skills, a positive outlook, and a people-first attitude, we’d love to hear from you.

 

Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity, and a caring attitude matter too.  We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and 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 IN RETURN

 

It's not just a job; it's a career. We offer benefits that reward great work and award-winning training to help you reach your potential. Plus, you'll contribute to the environment and community too. Here are 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 £2,225, which is subject to eligibility)
  • Family-friendly policies (including a year off fully paid maternity and adoption leave)
  • 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
  • Two paid volunteering days per year
