Job description

Your enthusiasm and positive outlook will help you find solutions and ensure our assets are inspected, surveyed, maintained and operated safely, effectively and efficiently to reduce flood risk for people and property.

You will support the delivery of annual maintenance work programmes and flood defence projects.

You will also assist in the continual improvement of our ways of working under our Asset Management System and help maintain our ISO55000 accreditation.

It will involve home, office and field working.
