These two essential roles will lead on the development of our future programme of FCRM projects.
One role will be focussed on identifying areas still at risk of flooding within Sussex, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight and develop solutions to reduce flood risk to these areas. The role will be working in partnership with our internal teams, framework consultants and wider partners. Your ability to work with others to identify solutions, build relationships and secure contributions are just as important as your skills in assessing flood risk and providing solutions.
The second role is an inward facing position. Working with our internal teams, you will lead on developing a strategic forward look at our asset stock. In particular, identifying which assets are nearing the end of their residual life, assessing where these assets will either need replacing or major repairs and shaping the solutions to be delivered as stand-alone capital projects.
