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.
LET’S TELL YOU MORE
As a Customer Advisor you’ll chat to customers over the phone and via email whilst being given the freedom to help them in a way you would like to be helped. You’ll take ownership of their needs and find a way, no matter what, to figure things out with them. We want great people who do more because we care.
Your colleagues will be some of the most amazing people you’ll be lucky enough to call friends. They’re an enthusiastic, determined, curious crew who love making waves in the water industry who share our mission to humanise customer experiences to make them amazingly brilliant.
We don’t lie - it’s not easy. Learning in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment isn’t for the faint-hearted. Every day you will come across problems not seen before, and you’ll be tasked with bringing about solutions. So, expect the unexpected. Ask questions, drive change, and share your ideas.
There’s a lot (and we mean a lot) to learn, and a lot of work to do. Just when you think you know everything there is to know - something changes. But don’t worry, we’ll help you build your knowledge and be committed to your development.
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.

You'll be based at our site at Leicester Water Centre. You’ll work within a dedicated team of 12 and build a real team spirit!

WHAT WE'ER LOOKING FOR
As we’ve said, you’ll be talking to our customers over the phone or via email, resolving their queries and perhaps engaging with other suppliers too. You’ll be a team player – nobody wins unless we all win.
We’ll be looking for you to have the ability to think on your feet in a fast-paced environment and have the confidence to be empowered and make your own decisions. If something is getting in the way of us delivering great customer service, you need to help us change it and you’ll need to be committed to owning customer queries end to end with no hand off to another department.
