Job description
This hydrology job is about applying your skills at a national level to make a difference to the Environment Agency’s Hydrology Service. We have some flexibility to tailor the role to your specific skills but you can expect to take a leading role in the development of new approaches to how we visualise hydrological data – which may include working with both consultants and other Agency hydrologists to ensure we deliver solutions that best meet the needs of the Hydrology Service. You could for example manage a project to make the projection of future river flow and groundwater levels more efficient through the use of Python code. You will also get involved with writing our water situation reports based on analysis of the hydrological data.

This job will be right for you if you already have significant experience of the Environment Agency’s Hydrology Service in Areas and would be interested in getting a national perspective. Alternatively you may have transferable skills and an interest in Hydrology that will complement our existing team.

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.
The team
Our team produces the regular national water situation reports, provides data analysis and advice at a national level to support flood and drought management as well as water resources regulation. We also support the Area based Hydrology Service – for example: promoting best practise techniques, running a training programme and developing tools. We are a dispersed team based in different parts of the country – we currently have staff in Reading, Wales and Exeter.
Experience/skills required
An understanding of hydrology is preferable - including a related academic qualification – however an in-depth understanding of Hydrology is not essential if you have other strengths that would be helpful. You should be comfortable working with data and also interested in identifying and implementing improvements to our processes.

Training will be provided and we will continue to be available to help with any queries. In fact that whole team is working on a wider approach to transforming data management of which you will be a part so you will be working collaboratively. The team has a weekly 90 minute video call where we update each other on what we’re doing.

We are particularly interested in what additional skills (beyond hydrology) you could bring to the role. Please tell us by giving examples where possible in your competency answers as well as summarising them in the “technical skills section”.
Contact and additional information
We have three vacancies in the team: this permanent Grade 5 post, a 6 month Grade 5 post and a permanent Grade 4 post. If you’re interested in all three posts then please apply for all with separate application forms (you can use the same words for each if you wish); if you are invited to interview you will only need to be interviewed once.

The Environment Agency are fully committed to having an inclusive workforce to reflect the communities we serve. We welcome flexible working patterns for all our vacancies, including job share.

For questions relating to this role, please contact John Waddingham; phone 07760315550; email [email protected]
