Crynodeb
The Environment Agency are fully committed to having an inclusive workforce to reflect the communities we serve. We don't just talk about diversity; we seek it, embrace it, and live it, for the benefit of our staff, our communities, and our environment.
In Yorkshire we look after over 3800 assets on the river network covering 2157Km, which better protects 320,000 properties.
We have an exciting opportunity and are looking for a Chartered Engineer to provide specialist advice and guidance in the Yorkshire Area. This role provides a great opportunity to work on a range of projects, as you help us to continue protecting people and property in flood risk areas. You will contribute to the asset management of Statutory Reservoirs, flood embankments, defence walls and other large civils structures. As an experienced engineer you will provide independent supervision for our critical assets and reservoirs, lead our teams on engineering issues and help to develop our Deputy Catchment Engineers.
You will work with the teams to technically assure our asset investment programme and advise on technical decisions for asset refurbishment. You will encourage, coach and mentor less experienced members of the department to help develop the next generation of engineers in Yorkshire.
Responding to incidents is a central part of what we do. You will be required to have an incident role and respond to incidents or provide business continuity support during an incident. This may attract an additional payment, and full training will be provided.
The team
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Yorkshire Operations Leadership Team. Operations Teams are responsible for the management of a diverse range of FCRM assets. We do this in a safe, efficient and effective manner to reduce flood risk for people and enhance our environment. As asset owners, maintainers and operators, we work to optimise our investment decisions and deliver our ambition to be an exemplar asset management organisation.
Experience/skills required
We are seeking someone with a passion and commitment to engineering within Flood Risk Management. You will be comfortable working independently and as part of a team, as well as with a national network of other Catchment Engineers.
You must have:
Engineering qualification and practical experience, hold Chartered Civil/Structural Engineer status
Good communications skills and great customer focus
Health, Safety & Environmental knowledge/experience
Technical leadership experience
Desirable but not essential:
Flood Risk Management knowledge
Reservoir construction/management experience
Practical experience in managing assets
Contract Management experience within construction sector
You’ll be an intelligent problem solver, with a methodical work approach. Leading evidence based decisions and supporting others will come naturally to you.
You will be confident to build relationships, with a can-do attitude and be dedicated to driving your own professional development as well as encouraging others.
