Business Development Manager

Hello, we’re Severn Trent Services a commercial arm of the Severn Trent Group. We provide water and waste services to companies nationwide, including the MoD.

Our purpose is taking care of life’s essentials, but we’re also big on making a difference, not just because we should but because we care.

We’re currently recruiting for an Experienced Account Manager / Business Development Manager to join our growing Aqualytix business. This is a UK based role and will involve travel.

Aqualytix is a growing Water Hygiene/Water treatment division of Severn Trent Services, dedicated to helping our customer to meet the requirements of ACOP L8 and HSG274 Parts 1 – 3, HTM04-01. We provide services to Universities, Care Homes, Schools and Colleges, Commercial Premises, Housing associations as well as industrial plants across England, Scotland and Wales using our industry leading compliance software and automation tools.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
