Our team of asset managers are responsible for thousands of flood risk assets ranging from large flood defence schemes and reservoirs through to small outfalls and flap valves. We perform an essential role in ensuring that people and property are protected from flooding by taking the right investment decision at the right time, based upon robust data. During a flood, we operate our assets to deliver the EA’s strategic/tactical/operational response in partnership with other responders.
As a senior member of the team, excellent communication and interpersonal skills will be required to develop skills within other members of the team to deliver our work programme, develop future skills resilience and rise to the challenge of becoming leading asset managers.

Ideally, you’ll be a member (or working towards membership) of an appropriate professional body such as ICE or IAM at a minimum level of engineering technician.
