Within our Operational Field team, you'll have what it takes to lead the daily tasks of a small team to complete our routine work programme and respond to incidents and emergencies. You'll help manage river and channel defences, working to counteract the causes of flooding and pollution.
Delivering routine maintenance for our assets, you'll protect properties and infrastructure by maintaining flood defences and river channels. This physical role involves working in a team, outside in all weathers. We undertake a range of activities, from strimming, river management, debris and tree clearance to minor construction and maintenance.
We act quickly when floods or environmental emergencies occur, so you'll take part in an emergency call out rota to respond and operate our assets such as pumps, sluices and flood gates.
