About Severn Trent:
As one of Britain’s largest water companies, Severn Trent impact on the lives of millions of people across the Midlands, from the outskirts of Sheffield, down to Bristol, and into north and mid-Wales. They provide over eight million people across our region with fresh, clean drinking water every day – that’s about two billion litres. And when we've finished with it, they take it away again and clean and treat it before returning it safely to the environment.
They are investing more than £6bn between 2020 and 2025 on new and existing assets like pipes, treatment works and reservoirs, yet they still offer one of the lowest average combined bills in the country.
What to wear: Please wear sturdy closed footwear. If you have safety shoes even better! You'll also be provided with the necessary PPE which you will need to wear. Please note shorts/dresses/skirts are not permitted on site, full length trousers only.
