If you’re part of the Environment Agency, you’re part of the solution. Working with us means protecting and improving the environment for future generations, tackling issues of national importance across a huge variety of disciplines.
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join one of our Asset Performance teams in Yorkshire, where you will have an important role in managing our flood risk assets. You will be helping to deliver a wide variety of work to ensure that we have the right flood risk assets in the right places, in the correct condition and they are ready to operate when required.
As an Advisor (senior member of the team) you will identify, prioritise, and deliver asset management activities. You will provide technical leadership and help develop colleagues. This role is very varied so you may be influencing a capital project one day, preparing for incidents the next day and liaising with contractors, residents, and partners on another.
You will help manage our data to ensure it is of a high quality and can be relied on to inform our future investment programme. Site visits are an essential part of the role. There is also an opportunity to work on incident response.
Responding to incidents is a central part of what we do. You will be required to have an incident role and make yourself available to respond to incidents, or provide business continuity support during an incident. This may attract an additional payment and full training and workplace adjustments will be available to support you with your incident role.
