Apprenticeship Programmes are a great way to earn and learn! Our Apprentice Data Analyst Programme offers the perfect blend of personal and professional development, exposing you to the core of our business.

You’ll be supported every step of the way. Your role will be to gain practical experience in a few teams developing your knowledge and understanding of Severn Trent and the processes.

All of this will allow you to further develop your skills so you can communicate data effectively to a wide variety of stakeholders. Furthermore, you'll spend time with the River Science Team. Joining the team offers a unique opportunity to work at the heart of environmental stewardship. You’ll immerse yourself in rich environmental and operational data that reveal how rivers are evolving across our region. Through diverse analytical workstreams, you’ll help drive initiatives that improve river health and shape decisions that keep waterways central to our business. This role is perfect for those passionate about using data to protect and enhance our rivers for the future.

We welcome all apprentices from diverse backgrounds, as we know diverse minds bring new ideas and a different way of thinking. We are looking for someone who wants to build their career with us and grasp new opportunities, and in return we will support you with varied experiences, training and development to provide a grounding for your future career.

You will be based at Severn Trent Headquarters in Coventry, the heart of our patch.

In this exciting programme, you will have the chance to discuss your development and career ambitions in your 1-1 meetings with business leads, mentors, a study buddy, the cohort leader, and the New Talent Team.

• 
  
• Interpreting and analysing datasets from across the business, uncovering insights that we use to propel our programmes forward.
  
• Integrating diverse datasets and identifying opportunities hidden within seemingly unrelated information.
  
• Building impactful dashboards and data visualisations that bring powerful river narratives to life and support decision-making.
  
• Mastering effective data handling throughout the entire project lifecycle.
  
• Working closely with stakeholders on data-driven programmes, understanding their needs, delivering solutions, and maintaining engagement through to successful completion.
  

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.

If you have the passion to succeed that we see in our apprentices every day, you’ll be a great match for our programme. We’d love you to be someone with:

• 
  
• Abundant curiosity – you’re eager to learn and grow in a reactive, ever-changing environment.
  
• An analytical mind – you can interpret complex information and translate it into clear, actionable insights for different audiences.
  
• Strong communication & team spirit – you enjoy collaborating across multiple teams and building strong working relationships.
  
• A positive, proactive mindset – you’re ready to roll up your sleeves, take ownership of decisions, and deliver work you’re proud of.
  
• Adaptability & energy – you thrive on variety and can pivot quickly in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
  
• A problem-solving drive – you prioritise effectively and dive head-first into challenges with initiative and confidence.
  

Our New Talent Team will guide you and support you every step of the way. Furthermore, your line manager, mentor and apprentice buddy will be there to help you in making sure you reach your full potential here at Severn Trent.
