A WATER company has opened applications for more than 100 new apprenticeships.

Roles with Severn Trent cover HR, water networks, engineering and electrical areas across the business and are open to all ages.

To remove the barriers for entry, the company says it has also removed the need for people to have achieved a pass for both English and maths for some of the apprenticeships, with those not holding them able to gain them during their training.

Kellie Emery, new talent lead at Severn Trent said:

> “Every year we open our apprenticeship applications with the ambition of bringing in some of the brightest talent from across our region.  
>  
> “Our apprenticeship schemes will offer people of any age the chance to learn new skills while also being able to put them into practice at the same time.  
>  
> “At a time when research is showing a 2% decrease in school and college leaver recruitment in the energy and engineering sector, we’re proud to be offering more opportunities in that space.”

Applications close on 16th March, with an [online webinar](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/severn-trent-apprenticeship-opportunities-2026-tickets-1779596002549?aff=oddtdtcreator&ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk) offering information taking place at 4pm on 27th January.
