At Severn Trent, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re in the top 5% of utility companies worldwide for employee engagement, and we’re equally proud of our strong Glassdoor score — reflecting how much our people love working here.

Join us to make a positive impact on the environment and our communities, while being valued and supported in a truly inclusive workplace.

If you want to do more, because you care, we want you on our team.

We’re looking for a Regulatory Oversight Analyst to play a key role in ensuring accurate, transparent, and insightful reporting to Ofwat. This role helps deliver our annual and interim regulatory submissions—including the Annual Performance Report, quarterly ODI forecasts, and PCD Delivery Plans—while supporting the development of strong, reliable reporting processes across the business.

You’ll contribute to shaping our regulatory approach by providing analysis, insight, and guidance that strengthens understanding across operational, financial, and delivery teams. Your work will be essential in preparing the business for the shift towards supervisory regulation, ensuring we have robust data, clear trends, and strong assurance over our reporting.

• Conduct industry benchmarking and comparative analysis to support business performance insights and external communications (e.g., Full Year Results).
• Support the preparation and delivery of regulatory submissions, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timely delivery.
• Monitor and report progress against key regulatory targets and milestones throughout AMP
  8.
• Provide high‑quality forecasts for regulatory and corporate financial modelling—including IFRS
  20 inputs—to support long‑term business planning and viability assessment.

• Develop automated reporting tools that integrate financial and non‑financial data, improving efficiency and accuracy.
• Lead elements of the assurance process, working closely with external assurance providers and tracking follow‑up actions.
• Coordinate post‑submission activities, including query handling and restatements.
• Maintain oversight of risks, issues, and dependencies relating to regulatory reporting.
• Support regular updates on incentive forecasts and regulatory reconciliations for senior leadership forums—including Portfolio Boards, STEC, and the Investments & Commitments Committee.
• Contribute to ongoing regulatory reporting, including the Annual Performance Report, quarterly ODI forecasts, AMP8 Delivery Plan updates, and Ofwat engagement meetings.

To be successful in this role, you will bring:

• Strong analytical skills and the ability to interpret complex data.
• Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage deadlines and competing priorities.
• Flexibility to adapt to new requirements, evolving regulation, and business change.
• A broad understanding of operational, financial, and environmental aspects of business performance.
• A curious mindset and the confidence to challenge constructively based on evidence.

You'll be based at our
Severn Trent Centre in Coventry. With this being such a critical role, we’re looking for someone who can join us 37 hours a week
.

You'll join a caring culture that collaborates to achieve, grow, and develop. Our employee engagement scores are among the highest globally in energy and utilities. That’s why, we value in‑person moments to keep our culture alive but also understand the flexibility working from home can bring. So, you'll usually find us in the office, but working from home is supported, when you need it.

We’re looking for someone who can:

• Collaborate effectively with a wide range of stakeholders across Operations, Capital Delivery, Compliance, Engineering, and Finance.
• Embrace continuous improvement—developing, embedding, and enhancing processes over time.
• Apply lessons learned to strengthen future reporting cycles.
• Manage workload independently and deliver high‑quality outputs to tight deadlines.
