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 for employee engagement, and we’re equally proud of our strong Glassdoor score, reflecting how much our people love working here. Join us to make 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 investing over £6 billion into our capital programme, and we’re growing our Capital Commercial team across Coventry, Derby and Shrewsbury.

As a Quantity Surveyor, you’ll support projects throughout their lifecycle, from early procurement through to final account. Working with a Senior Quantity Surveyor or Commercial Manager, you’ll manage low to medium complexity projects, administer NEC4 contracts, assess payments and support early warnings, compensation events, tenders and supplier negotiations.

You’ll join us for 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. You’ll usually find us in the office, but working from home is supported when you need it.

You’ll also bring:

• Experience supporting cost management, change control and commercial activities
• Strong commercial awareness and attention to detail
• Good communication and stakeholder management skills
• The ability to problem solve and manage competing priorities
• A degree or equivalent experience

RICS membership, or working towards it, is desirable.

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.

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. You’ll also contribute to the environment and community.
