We are looking for a motivated self-starter to join the South Humber and East Coast (SHEC) Asset Performance Team until 31.03.2022. This role may become a permanent vacancy from 01.04.2022.
This varied role puts you in the centre of everything we do in managing flood defence assets in this part of Lincolnshire. You’ll manage a range of flood defence structures including; sluices, flood walls, embankments, gates, trash screens, culverts and pumping stations, as well as routine river maintenance work.
You’ll work closely with other Asset Performance Officers and Advisors, Field Teams and the Field Operations Technical and Contract Advisor, as well as providing information on maintenance activities to others.
You will work mainly within the geographical area of the South Ferriby Depot (although this may depend on the successful candidate). You’ll be the single point of contact for all issues arising in your geographical area of work, which includes; responding to customer queries, helping to manage ‘below required condition’ assets and putting together the maintenance programme. You’ll also assist with identifying improvements that may be needed to repair or refurbish our assets.
Although the work is primarily office based, you will be required to carry out occasional site visits.
