Are you looking for a challenging and exciting role at the centre of flood and coastal risk management in the Environment Agency?

We’re looking for a technical delivery person with a strong interest in improving the environment to join our Flood Risk Data and Evidence team in Yorkshire. You'll be responsible for supporting our flood risk projects, helping to deliver data and evidence for them to make the best decisions for people and the environment. There is one permanent post and one assignment until end of January 2024 with the possibility of this post being extended or becoming permanent also.

This is an exciting time to join the team, the Capital Programme has lots of opportunities and you’ll be well placed to make a difference. You’ll be an enthusiastic, organised, motivated individual with high standards and a proven record of technical project delivery. You’ll have some experience of flood risk modelling and/or GIS and the focus will be on delivering our elements of the programme in an efficient and effective way. Collaboration with our National Evidence and Risk service, Programme and Contract Management colleagues and our Area Partnership and Strategic Overview teams is essential for effective delivery.

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 alternative working arrangements will be available to support you with your incident role.

Our Partnership & Strategic Overview (PSO) teams develop the technical knowledge needed to deliver a strategic overview of flooding, providing compelling evidence to support our vital Flood Risk work. The Data & Evidence PSO team coordinate the use of spatial data across the Area through strong data management and technical support, turning data into useable information.

We are a large friendly team who work from both home and the office, we are based across Yorkshire.

Through your experience you will ideally be able to demonstrate all the following:

• Have an engineering / science / geography background or a relevant degree / professional qualification
• Strong technical skills and experience
• Proven track record of delivering a technical programme of work
• Skilled at managing multiple priorities and competing demands
• Be an intelligent problem solver, with a methodical work approach
• Ability to develop and maintain good relationships with internal and external customers
• A love of the environment and a drive to improve it

Everyone starting in a new role with the Environment Agency will be welcomed into the team and given all the training and support they need to succeed. We offer an extensive range of employee benefits. For further information on this role, the employee benefits, and the work of the Environment Agency, please download the candidate pack.
