Are you passionate about mitigating environmental risk to protect people and wildlife?
Do you want to be directly involved in delivering FCERM capital programmes?
Do you enjoy championing positive environmental outcomes?
Does managing a varied portfolio of environmental projects excite you?
Then NEAS is looking for you!
We are looking for two Environmental Project Managers to join our Eastern Hub at the heart of our National Environmental Assessment and Sustainability team (NEAS). NEAS drives the Environment Agency’s aspirations as an effective asset and programme management organisation.
NEAS oversees the effective management of environmental risk on our Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management (FCERM) projects and help identify and deliver environmental enhancements that leave a better place. Our NEAS Hub Teams are responsible for the input of high quality environmental and sustainability advice to the Integrated Delivery Teams for each Delivery Hub. Our input is principally at the project development stages where we ensure that the need for environmental consents and approvals is identified.
You’ll be involved in ground-breaking and award-winning work, leaving a lasting legacy for the future through effective collaboration across internal departments, the wider Defra group, statutory bodies, our framework delivery partners, businesses and communities.
