Job description

Did you know the length of Severn Trent’s waste network would wrap around the world twice? Well, now you do.

It’s a big network, and a big responsibility. Every day 8 million people from Scunthorpe to Stroud rely on us to bring them clean water at the turn of a tap and take away their waste in one flush.

From planning, to digging, to inspecting we welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality. We know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our customers and the communities where they live.

If you want to do more because you care, we’d love to talk to you. There really is something for everyone here.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Severn Trent are recruiting for a highly skilled, passionate and self-starting individual to join our newly formed Pollution Repeat Prevention Team as a Regional Performance Analyst.

Are you someone with the ability to drive great performance through data-based decisions? This individual will be doing that whilst also supporting the Business Lead and their teams in achieving targets against outcome delivery incentives and budgetary performance.

This role drives tangible improvement in our Waste Water Recycling performance to meet both company targets and external commitments. You’ll help to drive this improvement through developing performance insight, identification of improvement opportunities, developing and gaining support for the business cases, removal of any blockers and ultimately, delivering these opportunities whilst tracking the benefits and continual learning of every improvement the team implements.

The ideal candidate will be a naturally curious and analytical thinker supported by relevant experience (preferably in Waste Water Recycling). With the ability to operate independently, manage stakeholders at all levels and across different areas, presenting to large groups and build credibility. Being comfortable managing multiple demanding, and sometimes conflicting, priorities at any one time, being skilled at managing expectations at all levels.

Your key accountabilities in this role will include…

• Developing and owning the performance framework ensuring business performance is at the right level underpinned by the right measures
• Providing insight and analysis to support the Financial position vs Budget and support both the Business lead and Finance Business Partner in the annual budget build process
• Owning the portfolio of activity, identifying and remediating any blockers whilst ensuring the team has access to the appropriate stock
• Identifying and driving new processes and/or investment opportunities to positively impact and deliver on our commitments and targets
• Highlighting concerns and escalating issues quickly to ensure the best possible outcomes for our customers
• Tracking the tangible benefits for all improvement initiatives and their impact on performance and our external commitments
• Working with teams to develop improvement plans to capitalise on opportunities and mitigate risks quickly
• Providing information and insight as required to the planning teams for support to the multi-year planning process

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

In order to succeed in this role, you will need to demonstrate a proven ability to manage improvement lifecycles from identification through to benefit realisation. You should be comfortable in using Power BI and Microsoft Excel to analyse, draw insights, and report on complex datasets from multiple sources.

Having impeccable attention to detail is essential, as is the ability to operate effectively in all areas from data validation to stock control. You must be forward-thinking with exceptional planning skills to ensure the team always has the necessary tools and materials. Experience in translating complex data into actionable insights and improvement opportunities is crucial. You should be confident in presenting complex information to diverse audiences to gain support and buy-in. Building relationships, gaining credibility, and managing stakeholders at all levels are key aspects of the role.

Additionally, you need to be comfortable working with financial data and processes, including monthly, quarterly, and annual reconciliation, and have a working knowledge of health and safety regulations and practices. Desirable attributes include a strong knowledge of waste processes, operational environments, and experience working in regulated environments.

The right skills and experience are important. But if you have the right character, positivity and a caring attitude we want to talk to you, 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. We want people who show up and get involve. Those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care. Is that you?
