LET’S CUT STRAIGHT TO IT
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.
Join us to make a positive impact on the environment and our communities, while being valued and supported in a truly inclusive workplace.
If you want to do more, because you care, we want you on our team.
Our Comms team is on the lookout for a Data Specialist to join their Executive Complaints Team for a 12 month fixed term contract!
LET’S TELL YOU MORE
With a new CEO with a huge focus on improving customer experience, we are building a brand-new team to focus on continuous improvement built from complaints, creating action to bring changes into the business to better serve our customers!
The Data Specialist is the heart of the Executive Complaints team and is essential in delivering insight to all other areas of the team, for them to digest and build from. Whether that’s taking learnings, assessing patterns and trends or identifying priorities or risks.
As the Data Specialist, you’ll be using the data from multiple systems and creating a central hub for the information to be stored so it can be assessable and measurable. Whilst also creating bite sized, visual updates and snippets of actions and updates for all audiences all the way up to STEC.
This role will work Monday – Friday 37 hours at week, with flexibility on Office base location as long as it is within our Region, and you are happy to frequently travel to our Head Office in Coventry.
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.
