Do you want to work for an organisation that makes a difference? Our Field Operations teams work towards protecting people and the environment by maintaining and operating our flood and coastal risk management assets across the country. We provide advice and support to our colleagues across the business and to external customers and stakeholders. We respond to flooding and environmental incidents both day and night and provide mutual aid which supports our colleagues and communities when flooding incidents occur.

In this role you will work closely with your Team Leader to:

• Complete our maintenance programme by planning, scheduling and resourcing works.
• Actively monitor the team’s work to ensure that high standards in health, safety and wellbeing are maintained whilst promoting a proactive culture.
• Ensure we have clear and concise site paperwork, assist on projects, take responsibility for work specifications, and work collaboratively with internal and external partners.
• Ensure work sites are fully compliant to legal requirements and Environment Agency policies and procedures.
• Identify, organise, and coordinate training to test our incident response plans.

At the Environment Agency, responding to incidents is a central part of what we do. If you're an external candidate and you are successfully offered a role, you will be required to hold an incident role to help us effectively respond to incidents, or to provide business continuity support during an incident. These incident roles may attract an additional payment and full training and alternative working arrangements will be available to support you. Please note we have many different incident roles available, and we will work with you to ensure we find something that works for you.

The role is primarily an office-based role, but you will occasionally be required to work outside in all weathers.

Field teams are the workforce of the Environment Agency.

As our ‘frontline’, the field teams protect people and the environment by providing operational response during flood events, maintain our river and coastal assets and provide 24/7 response to maintain defences. The field teams have a range of technical skills they use to deliver watercourse maintenance, along with asset maintenance and construction projects. The teams work collaboratively across the organisation to achieve positive outcomes.

We are seeking proactive, self-motivated and confident communicators with experience working in field-based teams. We welcome all backgrounds, preferably with an interest in engineering and geography.

Through your experience, you'll be able to demonstrate the following:

• Knowledge and experience of managing Health & Safety on construction and maintenance sites.
• Competent IT literacy; the ability to use devices, Excel and databases.
• Good organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple, conflicting priorities.
• Good knowledge of Risk Assessment Method Statements (RAMS), Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) and Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER)
• Great organisational skills and the ability to work well under pressure.
• Effective and inclusive leadership.

Qualifications/Licences:

• Health & Safety accreditations are advantageous.
• UK Driving Licence.

X63 CDM Principal Contractor training is required for this role, but we will support you to obtain this via an internal course.

We have a mixture of Permanent and Fixed Term Contract positions available, across multiple locations. Please thoroughly read the attached Candidate Pack and Additional Information document for a full breakdown of what is available, and where. Clearly note your location preference on the application form under the 4th competency question.

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. We welcome flexible working patterns for all our vacancies.
