  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
  • I have had a few occasions where I have gone out with work colleagues. this is nice to get to know them on a more personal level and get to know them a little better. Knowing them better helps to build better relationships and therefore work more efficiently as a team.

  • 9a. Would you recommend Severn Trent to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • Severn Trent is a great company to work for as they have amazing progression opportunities available. I feel like even though i am only six months into my apprenticeship I have progressed already. Severn Trent also has some great benefits available including a share save scheme and an amazing pension scheme.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Severn Trent?
  • I would say the best advise is to just be yourself. Before you get to the interview stage you have already been through a multitude of staged where people have assessed you so getting an interview must mean they like you and the skills you have. Make sure you link your skills and experiences to the role you have applied for.
