Job description

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.

As a Regulatory Oversight Administrator, you'll join our Regulatory Performance and Delivery team and play an important role in supporting the reporting we provide to Ofwat, the economic regulator for the water industry. Working alongside experienced colleagues, you'll gain valuable exposure to regulatory reporting processes, business performance analysis, and the way operational and financial information helps shape key business decisions.

This is an excellent entry-level opportunity for someone who is curious, analytical, and eager to learn within a highly regulated environment. We'll support you in developing your technical skills, building confidence in working with stakeholders, and growing your understanding of finance, reporting, and regulation.

That’s why, we value in-person moments to keep our culture alive but also understand the flexibility working from home can bring. So, you'll usually find us in the office, but working from home is supported, when you need it.
