EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

We’re looking for a creative and organised Events Officer to join our dynamic Communications team.

In this role, you’ll support the Events and Experiences Manager in delivering a wide range of internal events and experiences that bring our culture to life — from recognition events like our Long Service and Awesome Awards, to our annual Leadership events where we host 1,000 employees over a few days.

You’ll be at the heart of our internal communications campaigns, owning the day-to-day running of our County Cup initiative and all of our event comms – ensuring all of our messages land with impact.

You’ll also help shape the strategy for our events and experiences portfolio, bringing fresh thinking and a passion for creating memorable moments for colleagues across the business.

HOW WE WORK

We’re a collaborative, people-first team that thrives on creativity, innovation and making things happen. You’ll work closely with the wider Communications team, internal stakeholders, and external partners to deliver high-quality, engaging events that reflect our values and drive colleague engagement.

We value autonomy, trust and continuous improvement — and we’re always looking for new ways to make our events more exciting, inclusive and impactful.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’re after someone who’s experienced in planning and delivering events or work packages, ideally within an internal corporate event setting.

You will need to be a confident communicator, able to craft compelling messages across multiple channels and adapting your approach according to the audience. You need to be comfortable working with stakeholders at all levels, including executive leadership.

We want someone that’s highly organised, creative and proactive, with a passion for improving experiences and driving engagement.

You will be required to travel across the ST region for events, beyond our core office environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Support on the delivery of all of our internal events, experiences and related activity.
• Lead the planning and delivery of recognition events, including venue management, logistics and stakeholder coordination.
• Own the day-to-day running of the County Cup initiative, including comms campaigns and bonus point allocation.
• Create and deliver promotional plans to maximise engagement and attendance.
• Support the development of the events and experiences strategy, identifying areas for improvement.
• Collaborate with the Group Commercial team on event tenders and supplier agreements.
• Measure and report on event success, using data to inform future planning.

We have a range of benefits that recognise great work, and award-winning training to help you reach your potential. And we’ll also help you play your part in looking after the environment and the communities where we live.

With that in mind, here are just some of our favourite's perks that you’ll get being part of the Seven Trent family:

• 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
• Dedicated training and development with our ‘Academy’

• Electric vehicle scheme and retail offers
• Family friendly policies (including, a year off fully paid maternity and adoption leave)
