At Severn Trent we provide the perfect mix between hands-on experience and a formal qualification, enabling our apprentices to make a real lasting difference to our customers and communities, not just for now, but far into the future. 

You’ll be supported every step of the way, by your line manager and mentor. Working alongside our process engineering team, you’ll use engineering principles to implement and develop new processes or plant and to support product development; and work autonomously and as part of a wider scientific & engineering team. Using project management skills, you’ll develop and manufacture products on time, on cost and to the right product quality.

Furthermore, you’ll be proactive in identifying and supporting engineering solutions to challenging problems that face Severn Trent and be able to identify areas of the business to improve and propose innovative ideas.

What you will learn:

• Core engineering principles including mathematics and science and application to relevant area of specialism.
• Engineering project management procedures and how to incorporate these into the engineering/scientific work environment.
• How to ensure the plant, equipment and manufacturing assets are monitored and optimised to support the current and future processing operation whilst offering best value to Severn Trent.
• The business environment in which the Severn Trent operates including personal role within the organisation, ethical practice, and codes of conduct.

The training you will be getting

Within our process engineering  team you will complete the Level 6 SCIENCE INDUSTRY PROCESS AND PLANT ENGINEER (DEGREE) Apprenticeship standard, allowing you to develop the skills & experience required to become an expert.  You’ll combine on-the-job learning with formal, nationally recognised development training. A Personal Development Plan will help drive your career progression, set, agreed & regularly reviewed with your line manager. 

What we're looking for:

We want our employees to care and to have a genuine passion for what we do as a business. We need people who want to make a difference in providing a vital service to our customers, now and for the long-term. 

We’d love you to be someone with… 

• A ‘can do’ attitude – willing to get stuck in, take accountability for decisions and actions and who takes pride in their work.
• A love of variety in a role and ability to adapt to a dynamic, fast-paced working environment.
• Ability to quickly prioritise tasks and the initiative to dive head-first into problem solving.
• No two days are the same on the front line and not every day goes to plan, so you’ll need to be quick on your feet to respond! 
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills and enjoy working with multiple teams.
• Ability to analyse and interpret information and effectively communicate this to different team members and audiences.
• Ability to travel freely across our patch to visit different sites and travel to meetings and training days.
• Curiosity to learn quickly in a reactive and dynamic working environment.

What to expect at the end of your apprenticeship

By the end of this programme, you will take up a role as a Process Engineer or an Assistant Asset Engineer, where you will be able to put your skills to action.
