Job Description

Severn Trent isn’t all water and wastewater in the Midlands. Severn Trent Services (STS) is a thriving non-regulated business providing outstanding services in the Utilities sector across the UK. We have an ambitious growth plan and are exploring a wealth of exciting strategic opportunities to cement our place as one of the sector leaders.

If you want to do more, and come on this journey, we want you on our team.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

STS is a business of £100 million turnover and we are proud to announce we are recruiting a Senior Integration Lead for our Aqualytix business.

In this role, you will be responsible for planning and delivering the effective integration of acquired businesses, teams, systems and processes into the wider group. You will ensure integrations are delivered through strong programme and project management disciplines, maintaining business continuity, realising value, and aligning with the group’s operating model, culture and governance requirements.

You will combine strategic oversight with hands-on programme delivery, bringing structure, pace and assurance to complex, multi-workstream integrations.

Some of your key responsibilities include: -

• Lead end‑to‑end integration programmes from deal close through to business‑as‑usual, applying structured programme and project management methodologies.
• Define the integration roadmap, programme governance, workstream structure, milestones and dependencies.
• Maintain clear critical paths, managing risks, issues, assumptions and decisions through formal controls.
• Ensure effective transition of accountabilities to functional owners once integration activity is complete.
• Establish and manage programme plans, RAID logs, cost trackers and benefit realisation plans.

• Coordinate multiple interdependent projects across functions such as HR, Finance, IT, Legal and Operations.
• Monitor delivery against scope, time, cost and quality, escalating deviations where required.
• Drive disciplined reporting and decision-making through agreed governance forums.
• Act as the central point of coordination between corporate functions, acquired businesses and senior sponsors.
• Produce concise, senior‑level reporting on progress, risks, costs and delivery confidence.
• Work in partnership with HR to plan and deliver people‑related integration projects, including TUPE, organisational design, leadership alignment and communications.
• Apply change and stakeholder management techniques to support adoption and minimise disruption.
• Track integration costs, synergies and benefits against agreed business cases.

HOW WE WORK

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.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

In order to be successful in this role, you will bring proven experience in leading complex integration programmes, M&A integrations, transformations or large-scale change initiatives. You will have demonstrable experience applying structured programme and project management disciplines across multi-workstream environments, ensuring effective coordination and delivery.

You will also be confident managing delivery across multiple functions with competing priorities and dependencies, alongside strong experience in engaging senior stakeholders and operating within formal governance structures.

HOW WE’LL REWARD AND CARE FOR YOU

It's not just a job; it's a career. We offer benefits that reward great work and award-winning training to help you reach your potential. Plus, you'll contribute to the environment and community too. Here are some of our favourites:
