At Severn Trent, our purpose is taking care of life’s essentials—and we’re passionate about making a difference. Not just because we should, but because we care.
As we enter AMP8, our most ambitious five‑year investment programme yet—nearly £13bn, with £6bn dedicated to capital projects—we’re embracing innovation like never before. Our new Plug and Play approach is transforming how we deliver infrastructure: modular, scalable, and smart.
Our new Plug and Play approach will be a collection of common parts that can be connected in different ways and work together (like electrical panels and dosing rigs). They can be mixed and matched to create a whole range of different products.
We’re looking for an Electrical Design Engineer or a Senior Design Engineer to join our Plug and Play team and help shape the future of water and wastewater infrastructure.

* Collaborating with stakeholders to understand project requirements and translate them into robust solutions.
* Supporting early‑stage commissioning planning and ensuring designs meet regulatory and operational standards.
* Continuously improving standard designs based on feedback, risk assessments, and performance data.Ensuring seamless integration between product design, framework suppliers and site implementation teams.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We want people who show up and roll their sleeves up. Restless spirits who are ready to be part of something bigger, who care, who really care… because when you really care, you’ll go above and beyond. When you really care you don’t just talk about it, you do more.
We are looking for a design‑focused electrical engineer with a passion for infrastructure and innovation. You’ll bring:
* A degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline and/or a minimum of 5 years proven experience in electrical design.

* Understanding of H&S, and risk management in engineering design.
* An innovative and collaborative mindset with the ability to influence stakeholders to drive practical, effective solutions.
* Flexibility to travel between sites throughout the UK on an ad‑hoc basis as projects demand.
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.
