We are looking for great people to join our Asset Performance Teams across the West Midlands.

You will take an active role in managing our flood risk assets within a geographical area. Your enthusiasm and positive outlook will help you find solutions and ensure our assets are inspected, surveyed, maintained and operated safely, effectively and efficiently to reduce flood risk for people and property. You will support the delivery of annual maintenance work programmes and flood defence projects. You will also assist in the continual improvement of our ways of working under our Asset Management System and help maintain our ISO55000 accreditation.

This role involves huge variety and so you may be supporting the delivery of an engineering project one day, undertaking data work the next day and liaising with contractors, local residents and partners on another. It will involve home, office and field working.
Our team of asset managers are responsible for thousands of flood risk assets ranging from large flood defence schemes and reservoirs through to small outfalls and flap valves. We perform an essential role in ensuring that people and property are protected from flooding by taking the right investment decision at the right time, based upon robust data. During a flood, we operate our assets to deliver the EA’s strategic/tactical/operational response in partnership with other responders.
We're seeking individuals with a passion for asset and/or flood risk management and a drive to better protect our communities at flood risk. The key things we’re looking for are transferable skills and capabilities. Ideally you’ll be able to demonstrate most or all of the following:
• Confident communication and customer service skills, as you will be working with internal and external partners, as well as with members of the public.
• Good planning and organisational skills, you'll be able to demonstrate an ability to manage and interpret data and information.
• Awareness of Project management.
Formal qualifications in civil engineering, project management, data and information management are advantageous but not a requirement.
A full UK Driving license is required.
Please see the candidate pack for more information on the benefits offered. This includes generous pension provision and leave entitlement, flexible working practices, excellent training and learning opportunities.
Everyone starting in a new role with the Environment Agency will be welcomed into the team and given the training and support needed to succeed.
These roles are being advertised as part of a West Midlands wide Asset Performance recruitment campaign. Two permanent FCRM Officer opportunities are also available, please apply separately if these are of interest.
