Project Co-Ordinator

Our people are what makes Severn Trent a truly exciting and inclusive place to work. We’re a team of over 9,000 people with a purpose to deliver one of life’s essentials, and we do it all while thriving in our unique culture.

At Severn Trent, we’re embarking on an exciting £415m project to replace 870 miles of old water pipes across the Midlands – and we want you to be part of it. This is the biggest investment in water infrastructure in the region in a decade, and it’s set to improve water quality, reduce leaks, and make our water supply even more reliable for millions of people.

To bring this vision to life, we’re creating new jobs across the region. Whether you’re based in Birmingham, Nottingham, or anywhere in between, we’ve got opportunities for you to help shape the future of water in the Midlands. The new pipes we’re installing will last for up to 100 years.

This is your opportunity to play a part in this transformation!
