Description

The Customers and Engagement team is crucial to the Environment Agency's public reputation across the Hertfordshire and North London Area.

We provide answers to customer enquiries and requests for data.

  • As a Customers and Engagement Officer you'll deliver a firstclass service so that our customers get their questions and requests for information dealt with and that we get it right first time, every time. You'll work closely with the rest of the team to meet statutory and organisational deadlines. You'll work with colleagues across the area to provide information and answer questions from a wide range of customers on just about every topic we deal with, from flooding to fisheries, water quality to waste and everything in between You'll draw from a variety of support materials and templates along with contributions from colleagues to assemble responses which are clear and meet the customer's requirements.
  • 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 involve some occasional out of office hours working as part of an emergency standby roster, which may attract an additional payment depending on the situation. Full training and alternative working arrangements will be available to support you with your incident role.
