Our Treatment Process Engineering team is growing, and we’re looking for passionate and forward-thinking engineers to join us!
Whether you're just starting out or bring years of experience, we have exciting opportunities at all levels—from Process Engineer to Principal Process Engineer—as we shape the future of water and wastewater treatment.
We’re looking for motivated individuals with a strong technical expertise in water and/or wastewater treatment processes, and a passion for delivering sustainable engineering solutions.
If you thrive in an inclusive environment where your ideas can make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you.
LET’S TELL YOU MORE
This is an exciting time for us as we expand our Treatment Process Engineering team, with opportunities available across multiple levels—from Process Engineer to Principal Engineer. These roles can be based at either our Coventry office (Finham) or Derby site (Raynesway).
The Asset Planning Treatment team plays a vital role in delivering the best outcomes for the business by driving strategic and tactical investment planning. Acting as a central hub for technical knowledge and direction, the team ensures the right design choices are made and successfully delivered on site. Their work transforms informed decisions into real-world solutions across water and wastewater treatment, helping shape a more sustainable future.
As part of the team, you’ll be key to selecting and delivering the optimal process solutions for capital projects—from initial concept through to commissioning. You’ll work collaboratively to identify innovative and reliable technologies that meet our goals for whole-life cost, carbon impact, operability, and process risk. This role offers a clear development pathway, giving you the opportunity to grow your expertise in water and wastewater treatment while working closely with teams across Severn Trent to become a true technical specialist.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Our team is collaborative, connected, and inclusive. We’re accessible, supportive, and committed to inspiring and motivating those around us.
We welcome applications from individuals with qualifications in process, chemical, environmental engineering or science-related fields. You’ll need a strong technical or engineering background – ideally in water or wastewater, excellent analytical and communication skills, and experience working with process data and engineering programmes. Senior roles require additional experience in stakeholder management, project leadership, and influencing at all levels.
