The Role
We are the Environment Agency. We protect and improve the environment. We work with government, local councils, businesses, civil society groups and communities to make our environment a better place for people and wildlife. 

We’re investing £2.6 billion between 2015 and 2021 to reduce flood risk to 300,000 homes across England. It’s an exciting time and we need your help to ensure we’re prepared for any future flooding. 

This role is varied and draws upon a diverse range of transferrable skills. Working closely with other teams, you can expect to be involved in any of the following:
 
• Developing and planning programmes of work 
• Tracking project progress and performance 
• Collecting, analysing and interpreting data 
• Advising on programme risks and opportunities 
• Working closely with project delivery teams, including local authorities
• Preparing reports and presentations highlighting programme performance and risks 
 
There are also opportunities to get involved with incident management when flooding occurs. We have a flexible range of roles you can volunteer for and you’ll get all the training and support you need.
Flood and Coastal Risk Management (FCRM) plays a huge part in the work that the Environment Agency does; helping to protect against flooding and minimising the risks caused by any floods that do occur. The Programme team manages the East Midlands area’s programmes of work. In 2019/20, we will oversee £20 million of expenditure which will better protect over 1,000 homes from flooding, maintain our FCRM assets, as well as creating new wildlife habitat.
Through experience to date, you should be able to demonstrate most of the following:
· Sound programme/project management knowledge and skills. 
· Strong, effective communication skills (written and verbal)
· Ability to develop and maintain good working relationships with others
· Strong data management skills, and experience of interpreting large data sets, particularly in Microsoft Excel 
· Good organisational skills, with excellent attention to detail
· Good knowledge of Flood and Coastal Risk Management
 
The key thing we are looking for is energy, enthusiasm and willingness to learn. If you don’t have experience in flood risk management, but feel you have the transferrable skills for this role, please do not be put off from applying.
The post is a permanent position.
