As a flood and coastal risk engineer you will work under CDM2015 as a designer producing PCI's and managing your own portfolio. You will be designing new flood defence assets and repairs to our existing assets. You will act as CDM Client on many projects within the team and act as Senior User Rep on large scale capital projects. An important part of this role is to manage the Bristol Avon budget which annually averages around £1.4m. You will be expected to attend regular project and budget meetings.
This is an exciting time to join asset performance as we have recently gained ISO55001 accreditation which places us a leading asset management organisation. The asset performance teams are responsible for the routine inspection and maintenance of the existing flood defence structures across the Wessex area. Our engineers act as Senior Users on multi-million pound projects to install new flood defence structures protecting housing, industry and infrastructure.
We are looking for an experienced flood defence engineer educated to a minimum of IEng with extensive financial management experience on multi-million pound projects. You must have a proven track record as Senior User or Senior User Rep on similar sized capital projects. Experience at dealing with flood risk permitting would be a distinct advantage. You will be an expert in CDM2015 and will have previously been signed off as both client and designer.
For more information about this challenging role please contact the recruiting manager, Paul Mitson, via email; paul.mitson@environment-agency.gov.uk or telephone; 07768 006189.
