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 helps our colleagues and communities when flooding incidents occur.

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

Identify, organise, and coordinate training to test our incident response plans.

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

The teams work collaboratively across the organisation to achieve positive outcomes.

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:
