Our National Environmental Assessment & Sustainability team (NEAS) works with the Flood and Coastal Risk Management teams to help protect against flooding and minimise the risks caused by any floods that do occur. The work we do directly and with others ensures our actions reduce flood risk and provide environmental and social benefits. NEAS work in integrated project teams, managing or supporting the delivery of environmental impact assessments (EIA) or strategic environmental assessments (SEA).
You’ll be involved in the appraisal and design of flood risk management schemes which will require experience in environmental assessment, Sustainability and a range of environmental legislation and policy. We’ll be looking for you to manage environmental risks down to acceptable levels as well as identifying and delivering environmental enhancements on the ground. You'll need excellent communication skills and the ability to develop strong relationships with internal and external partners. You should have some experience in an environmental role and it is helpful to have project management skills too. If you can offer this and have a relevant degree or equivalent we welcome hearing from you. We will support you in progressing your status within the professional institution of your choice. We are always looking at good practice from other sectors and so experience in the water industry is not essential, if you have other valuable experience to offer.
Your base location will be the Hub office (locations listed above). However, due to Covid-19 restrictions for the safety of our staff the role will be initially home working.
You will need to hold a full UK driving licence. The roles require some travel and overnight stays.
Please make it clear which post location you are applying for.
Virtual interviews will be held in the fortnight commencing 14th September.
If you have any questions about the role, please contact phil.griffiths@environment-agency.gov.uk in the first instance.
