Whether you’re just starting out or looking to take your career to the next level, we have the resources and support you need to succeed.

When people think of Severn Trent, they immediately think of water and waste – and that's only natural – it's our bread and butter after all… but you might not realise we have a thriving Fleet team who currently repair and maintain a fleet of over 2,900 vehicles!   From company cars to water tankers, we ensure that Severn Trent can safely transport equipment, valuable resources and our teams around safely and efficiently from A to B, day in day out. 

It’s an exciting time to join our Fleet team as we’re on a journey to deliver some exceptional changes to the future of our fleet and we think it’s pretty special! We’re looking for the right person to join our team as a Risk and Compliance Manager who will be a part of this journey. Sound interesting? Read on for more details…

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

In this brand new role, you’ll ensure that our Fleet Operations Team achieve and maintain compliance against all regulatory and legal requirements.

You’ll have overall responsibility for Severn Trent’s O License, making sure that the company operates within the licence guidance, and that all changes to the current licence are managed and delivered promptly.

As our Risk and Compliance Manager, you’ll maintain and develop effective transport compliance policies and procedures and work with our third party partners to ensure they are compliant too.

With 3 direct reports working for you, you’ll also provide leadership and direction to our Fleet Compliance Team.

You’ll be based in our Coventry headquarters, Monday - Friday but will be expected to travel across the Severn Trent region to complete audits. We’ll support you with travel by providing either a car allowance or company car.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

A background in compliance and regulation would be a great foundation for this role.

If you’ve worked in transport management or are a Transport CPC holder, that would be super beneficial but not essential.

The right candidate embraces change but is a stickler for rules and holding people to account.

As a leader, you want to inspire, motivate and challenge your team to be better.

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? 

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

Working here isn’t just a job. You can build a career at Severn Trent. We’ll reward you for it, too. 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 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 paid for any maternity and adoption leave)
• Two volunteering days per year
