Severn Trent Careers
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.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
We are excited to announce a new opportunity to join our fantastic Customer Strategy and Experience team here in Coventry, as a Service Recovery Advisor.
As our new Service Recovery Advisor, you’ll be tasked with delivering a high level of customer service and satisfaction for operational Waste-Water issues. You’ll be responsible for appropriately handling and responding to telephony complaints that are received and you’ll make sure all stages of the complaints process are adhered to.
Customer fulfilment will be at the forefront of your mind, and you’ll work to maximise customer satisfaction scores that are received by the business. You’ll be contacting customers via telephone and in writing to resolve issues, some of which are complex and long standing, and you'll be following up dissatisfied comments which have been highlighted through various channels.
Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity, and a caring attitude matter too. We welcome and celebrate diverse individuals, knowing they help us better serve our communities. We seek people who get involved, want to be part of something bigger, and make a difference because they care.
