  • Job description
  • We're looking for an individual with relevant technical knowledge and experience to be involved in a full range of Incident Management work in the Area Incident Team in Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire Area.

As an Area Incident Team Officer you'll work as part of a team to shape and deliver the work that we do with a wide range of internal and external customers in terms of planning, preparation, advice and response to incidents.

Your role will include helping deliver advice to our duty staff on a range of cross-functional incident management work, undertaking planning and preparation to improve our incident response and also act as a duty officer in responding to incidents.

You will be responsible for managing a variety of incident management workloads and for some liaison with partners and customers, such as Local Authorities, Emergency Planning Officers, Local Resilience Forum Partners and members of the public.

You'll have experience of working closely with colleagues to inform and influence our work to protect the environment.

Your work will ensure that we improve our response to incidents so we can help communities recovery from incidents and become more resilient and better able to help themselves.

You will use your experience to provide expert advice and guidance to internal and external colleagues to assist in reducing risk to life.

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 attract an additional payment and full training and alternative working arrangements will be available to support you with your incident role.


  • The team
  • We focus on working with others to reduce the impact of flooding and coastal erosion to people and property, by working closely with our partners and the communities in Lincs and Northants. The team focus on a wide range of work, from internal and external engagement, training and exercising duty officers, improving our incident response through planning and preparation for incidents, and technical work associated with managing the systems we use for incident response work.


  • Experience/skills required

  • You will have good organisational awareness, along with some technical knowledge and experience of incident management work. Knowledge of GIS would be useful. Your good communication and interpersonal skills will be complimented by your enthusiasm to achieve results and work with others.

In addition you will have a good understanding of the key drivers and issues relating to our Flood Risk Management work, and experience of working with internal and external partners to deliver specific outcomes to time, cost and quality.

A degree in a relevant discipline is desirable. It is also desirable that you are a member of, or are working towards membership of, a professional body.

  • Contact and additional information
  • The role will be based in Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire Area.

You may need to regularly travel to customers and Environment Agency offices in Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire and further afield as required and are likely to find it necessary to visit locations which may not be easily accessible via public transport so will need to hold a full UK driving licence.
