Although the role is office based the expectation is that the Team Leader will spend a reasonable proportion of their time in the field directly overseeing their team and hence requires a full UK driving license.
As a Field Team Leader you will be expected to undertake an Incident Management role which will primarily be managing your team during an incident. This is likely to lead to work outside of the core hours.
You will be part of the Lower Thames Operations Management Team and be expected to contribute across the whole of the area in delivering flood risk management.
For more information please contact Maria Herlihy, Operations Manager Lower on 01243756360 or by email: maria.herlihy@environment-agency.gov.uk
