Property Strategy & Standards

Want to do the best work of your life? Playing your part in making a big difference to the environment and communities we serve. Our people make Severn Trent a truly exciting and inclusive place to work – a place where you can be yourself and let your skills shine.

Our purpose is taking care of life’s essentials, but we’re also big on making a difference, not just because we should but because we care.

With that in mind, at Severn Trent, we are embarking on our largest capital investment programme yet, ensuring we continue to deliver outstanding services to our customers.

Are you ready to shape how we manage, protect and unlock value from one of the largest and most diverse property portfolios in the Midlands? Reporting to the Head of Property and Strategic Resource Options, this is a unique opportunity as a Property Strategy & Standards Business Lead to play a pivotal role in driving the future of land and property strategy across both Severn Trent Water (STW) and Hafren Dyfrdwy (HD).

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

You’ll be responsible for defining and delivering asset strategies across our entire estate, which includes land, operational buildings and facilities sites. You will need to define a minimum 25 year strategy, build long term business plans and the standards of how we implement our strategies.

Working collaboratively with the entire property team, key stakeholders and the Exec you will bring these strategies and long term plans to life.

You will also be responsible for property improvement activities, enabling you to deliver the improvements the business needs mindful of the long term direction of the team.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

You’ll have substantial experience of developing strategies and influencing key stakeholders. Knowledge of long term trends and future concerns would be extremely helpful. Some knowledge of land and property management would be useful but not vital. You will be required to demonstrate a strong track record of delivering solutions in complex and uncertain environments.

You’ll be a confident leader of high-performing, cross-functional teams, with the ability to assess risk, sponsor strategic investments and influence senior stakeholders.

You’ll also have experience of managing budgets, shaping business decisions through data, and embedding new processes to drive efficiency. Ideally educated to degree level with the ability to demonstrate the relevance of qualifications to the role, you must have a full UK driving licence.

We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities. We employ thousands of people from across our community who really care about what they do. Because that is how we do what we do.

And when it comes to inclusion, we’re making sure we keep up the progress with our wonderful working groups – LGBTQ+, Women in Operations & STEM, Disability and Ethnicity; who help us do just that.

We do more, because we care.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

Working here isn’t just a job. You can build a career at Severn Trent. We’ll reward you for it, too. We have a range of benefits that recognise great work, and award-winning training to help you reach your potential. And we’ll also help you play your part in looking after the environment and the communities where we live.

With that in mind, here are just some of our favourite's perks that you’ll get being part of the Seven Trent family:

31 days holiday + bank holidays (and the ability to buy/ sell up to 5 days per year)
Annual bonus scheme (of up to 20% of base salary per annum based on company performance)
Company car allowance
