Beyond the Finance big four
When Reuben moved from a Big Four career into industry, he assumed he would need to compromise on variety, progression and exposure to complex projects. Instead, joining Severn Trent challenged those perceptions completely.
Since joining the business two and a half years ago, Reuben is a financial performance analyst working across some of the organisation's largest investment programmes. Along the way, he has gained broad exposure to different areas of engineering and the supply chain, built relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, and played a role in improving efficiency across major projects.
Combined with Severn Trent's strong purpose-led culture and commitment to making a difference for customers, communities and the environment, the experience has shown him that a move away from the big four can open doors to opportunities he never expected.
"There’s a genuine sense that the work we do has a meaningful impact on communities and the environment, which makes it very rewarding on a day-to-day basis."
"From a career perspective, there’s a lot of variety and opportunity to progress, which challenged my initial perception coming from a big four background."
"It’s an environment where you’re supported, encouraged, and trusted to make a difference."
