About us
If you’re part of the Environment Agency (EA), you’re part of the solution. Working with us means protecting and improving the environment and tackling issues of national importance. We’re based across England, and our responsibilities span industry regulation, flood defences, land contamination, water quality, fisheries and conservation.
Such broad scope of work calls for diverse, multi-skilled teams. Together, we’ll promote sustainable growth, tackle climate change and secure a better future for everyone.
Our Asset Performance Teams manage flood and coastal erosion risk assets to reduce the impact of flooding and protect our communities. We’re involved in the whole lifecycle of our assets from planning, delivery and maintenance, to responding to incidents and decommissioning. It also means managing the effects of climate change.
Your role with us
This is an opportunity to build new knowledge and experience in the management of flood & coastal risk assets, which include riverbanks, sluice gates and flood storage reservoirs. You will focus on helping to manage our asset data to ensure it is of the best quality and can be relied on to inform our future investment programme. This may include site work to understand our asset base and to collect, analyse and interpret information to ensure we manage it well. Full training is offered. Incident Management forms a crucial part of the job and you will be expected to participate in a stand-by rota.
