World class asset management. That’s our aspiration. That’s the journey we’re on in Water Land and Biodiversity (WLB) within the Environment Agency. Join us on the journey as a WLB Asset Management Assistant. We have a wide variety of WLB assets across Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire Area, including pumping stations, weirs, rain gauges and boreholes, all of which help us monitor and manage water for the benefit of people and wildlife. Knowing the condition of our assets is hugely important and underpins our risk based approached to asset management.
Your role will involve field and desk based activities. Outside, you will visit WLB assets, collating information and carrying out visual inspections to determine their condition. Inside, you will process information on WLB assets ensuring assets are accurately and fully represented on the new asset management database.
Reporting to the Hydrology and Operations Team Leader, you will be working closely with the Area WLB Asset Management Technical Lead.
Your role will also include:
- Assisting Area WLB Asset Management Technical Lead to ensure WLB assets are safe, efficient and resilient
- Assisting WLB Asset Management Technical Lead to develop/establish an organisational culture where all Area staff understand their role in asset management.
