England, United Kingdom ICE Recruit Full time

About the role

West Northamptonshire Council has created a new team focused on developing and delivering innovative flood and water drainage solutions. The team is led by the Flood and Water Team Manager, reporting to the Head of Works within the PLACE directorate of the Council. The team is constructed of two areas, flood management and drainage management.

The team will act as the Council’s lead flood authority providing professional support and advice on flood and water management and be instrumental in developing its approach to the forthcoming changes to the Flood and Water Act.

We have two vacancies for this role. One in Drainage, one in Investigations.

What will you be doing?

The purpose of this post is to provide technical assessment and advice to Local Planning Authorities on the suitability of surface water drainage proposals for new development, ensuring the council (as Lead Local Flood Authority) continues to fulfil its role as statutory consultee in the planning system.

This includes working with applicants to promote the implementation of sustainable drainage systems on new development in West Northamptonshire, to ensure that additional benefits to flood risk management can be realised as part of the delivery of surface water drainage in the county.

Work with developers and landowners to regulate activity on ordinary watercourses, ensuring that the designs of works are appropriate, sustainable, and do not adversely impact flow within watercourses.

About you

We are looking for individuals that want to test boundaries and develop, and deliver, innovative approaches to reducing flood risk to our communities. Acting as the Council’s local lead flood authority the team will provide professional technical responses to development applications ensuring that drainage systems are sustainable and sufficiently effective in protecting communities from flooding.

The team will be supported to think outside of the box and be provided with modern resources which they can use to create innovative solutions.
