If you’re passionate about our water environment and want to make a difference to the quality of our rivers and lakes in Kent, South London and East Sussex, then this might be the perfect role for you.
We are looking for someone enthusiastic and self-motivated, with experience of water quality issues to help review, challenge and advise on stakeholder plans and permissions, to ensure they protect and improve our freshwater environment.
You will work with national policy, colleagues, partners and key customers on aspects of water planning to help respond to current pressures and future demands. You will seek optimal solutions to environmental problems and advise on the regulatory requirements that will help us improve the quality of our rivers and lakes to create a better place for people, wildlife and the environment. You will also work with water companies to reduce the impacts from sewage discharges.
Knowledge or experience in some of the following areas would be very valuable in this role:
- Water company performance/regulation
- Water quality modelling
- Water company price review
- Urban Pollution Management processes and standards
- The Water Environment (Water Framework Directive) (England and Wales) Regulations 2017
We support membership of an appropriate professional institute such as CIWEM and encourage ongoing learning and development.
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.
