Job description
At the Environment Agency our mission is simple: protect the environment to ensure tomorrow's generations inherit a cleaner, safer, healthier world. Our Operations Delivery department helps maintain river channels and flood defences, playing a vital role in protecting wildlife and safeguarding people throughout the region.

As part of a small, committed team, you'll enjoy the physical demands of a role where you'll be involved in everything from grass cutting, aquatic weed control, removing obstructions from watercourses and minor construction maintenance.

You'll be working in all weathers, so you'll need a love for the outdoors.

As you'll also be part of the Environment Agency emergency response, attending flooding and pollution incidents, you'll be committed to taking part in a 24/7 standby rota.

If this is your first role or a career change don't worry as we provide full training and support on safe use of all equipment and plant in order to carry out tasks safely.

The most important thing we are looking for is a passion for being outdoors in the environment and your resilience and determination to succeed.

You will be expected to enrol on the Water Environment Worker Level 3 Apprenticeship: the primary mechanism for training new employees in Field Operations.

To complete the apprenticeship you will need to have Level 2 in Numeracy and Literacy (e.g. GCSE A-C, O Levels A-C). If you do not hold the qualifications, you will be supported through the process of obtaining them.

The team
These roles are based in our Amwell Depot in Ware. As part of the Lower Lee Team, you will be expected to check in at Amwell depot daily, where you will be dispersed in smaller teams to carry out the days tasks. 75% of work will be located in Outer London (Outer London weighting allowances apply). More information and shift patterns will be explained at interview. Parttime requests may be considered on an individual basis.

Experience/skills required

You must have a positive and enthusiastic approach with a 'can do' attitude.

What do you need?

Be able to work as part of a team
Have an understanding of site health and safety requirements ensuring procedures are in place to minimise risk to yourself and others
Be able to carry out tasks and answer queries effectively
Be competent in using IT devices, such as an iPad, and willing to learn our inhouse systems
Hold a valid UK driving licence
Previous experience of using plant and machinery is not essential but would be beneficial.

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

Contact and additional information
At the Environment Agency, we go above and beyond when it comes to diversity. We seek out new perspectives, welcome different experiences and promote inclusivity both within our staff team as well as wider communities. We're on a mission to create lasting change for people's lives across every corner of society.

Everyone starting in a new role will be welcomed into the team and given all of the training and support needed to succeed.

Interviews will take place at the Amwell Depot in Ware.
