Continuous Improvement Champion

 

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

 

We’re on the lookout for a passionate and driven Continuous Improvement Champion to join our dynamic Group Transformation team. If you're someone who thrives on making things better, smarter, and more efficient — this is your moment to shine!

 
Based at our Coventry City Centre head office, this role is all about empowering change. You’ll be at the heart of transforming how we work, helping teams unlock their potential through innovative Continuous Improvement (CI) tools and techniques.

 

Why this role is exciting:

  • You’ll be a catalyst for transformation, coaching and inspiring teams to embrace a culture of continuous improvement.
  • You’ll work across diverse projects and business areas, making a real impact on performance and ways of working.

 

You’ll be part of a forward-thinking team that values creativity, collaboration, and bold ideas


What you’ll be doing

 

  • Championing CI tools and embedding them into our change programmes and everyday operations.
  • Facilitating engaging workshops and solving real-world problems at a local level.
  • Driving process improvements with a focus on end-to-end thinking and building a change-ready workforce.
  • Identifying and delivering measurable benefits that make a difference.
  • Coaching and training colleagues to build lasting CI capability.
  • Supporting and mentoring your peers within the CI team, sharing your expertise and growing together.

 

HOW WE WORK 

 

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.

 

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 someone who’s not just experienced — but energised by the power of change. If you’re passionate about making things better and have a knack for inspiring others to do the same, you’ll thrive here.


Here’s what will help you succeed:


  • Hands-on experience with Continuous Improvement (CI) and SBF tools and techniques — and a clear understanding of how they work together to drive transformation.
  • A proactive mindset that’s always thinking ahead, with a strategic view of the bigger picture.
  • The ability to engage and influence stakeholders at all levels, building strong relationships and driving collaboration.
  • A track record of problem-solving and delivering change, whether through projects, programmes, or local initiatives.
  • Experience in coaching and training others, helping teams build confidence and capability in CI tools and 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
