As the Senior Investigation Manager you will be one of our strategic leads on Major Investigations, ensuring that our prosecution cases are driven by criminal intelligence, proportionate and effective. These major investigations often involve serious organised crime groups so you will need to develop robust and complex investigation strategies that deliver timely outcomes. You will need to work closely with our Major Investigations Room Team in tasking a team of investigators to an achievable and successful prosecution result.
You will ensure there is tight governance around your investigations, providing up to date management information that provides assurance that your investigations are meeting the milestones set out in your investigation strategy.
You will be part of the National Investigations Leadership team and have line management responsibility for a small team of investigators. You will also be part of the National Enforcement Service wider Leadership Team, where you will be asked to lead on portfolio project work to help the department evolve and deliver the best service possible.
You will need to build strong relationships and influence at a senior level both internally and with external partners such as HMRC, ROCUs, GAIN and police forces.
The National Investigations department has a national remit to tackle priority offenders and serious organised environmental crime and is part of the Environment Agency’s National Enforcement Service which provides support through several disciplines including Investigations, Financial Investigations, Prevention and disruption and Intelligence.
You will ideally have experience working on and leading complex criminal investigations. If you do not, but believe that your experience is appropriate, please tell us in the evidence you provide in the application form.
Experience in working within a Major Investigation Room would also be useful but not essential.
You will have experience leading and/or line managing a team coupled with a track record of continually improving your working practices and those of your team.
Closing date: 7th June 2018 at 23:55 hours
The role will ideally be based centrally in Solihull in our Major Investigations Room but this may be flexible with the expectation that a large proportion of your time is spent there. There may also be occasions where you will need to travel and a lease car will be made available to you. Overnight stays may occasionally be required but you will be given plenty of notice beforehand.
Interviews will take place on the 8th & 11th June in Solihull.
For further information please contact Bonnie Butler, National Investigations Manager on 07879486084 or via email bonnie.butler@environment-agency.gov.uk
