*LET’S CUT STRAIGHT TO IT
*

**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.

Which is why we are investing over £565 million into the new **Green Recovery Programme**, to improve the lives of the communities we serve.

**We are currently looking for an Environmental Advisor to join our Green Recovery Programme based in Finham, Coventry.**

The key focus for you is to negotiate with the Environment Agency and liaise with internal stakeholders to determine and obtain the most appropriate environmental permit outcomes and compliance.

Secondly, you will provide expert advice, interpretation and training on the requirements of the environmental permits framework.

LET’S TELL YOU MORE*

In this role you’ll interpret the relevant regulations and guidance documents to provide advice and facilitation on regulatory permit requirements, as well as managing interfaces with contractors and internal stakeholders.

As well as this, you’ll manage the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process to identify the possible environmental effects of a proposed activity and how those impacts can be mitigated.

You’ll have excellent organisational skills, the ability to work autonomously and effective stakeholder management skills whilst being able to manage deadlines and support with technical input into proposals.

You will be required to travel between sites in Derby and Coventry.

**WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR**

Of course it’s important that we attract the right skill sets, and those with the right experience but we value character, positivity and a caring attitude in equal weight.

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 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.

This role will require you to travel between sites so you'll either have full UK driving licence or commitment to achieving.

We do more, because we care.*
