About the role
Are you looking for an opportunity to build or further your career in flood risk management?

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior SuDS and Flood Risk Officer to join the Flood Risk Team at Cambridgeshire County Council. The team leads the Council’s role as Lead Local Flood Authority, working with partners to investigate and deliver innovative local flood risk management projects across Cambridgeshire, improve the water environment, and provide technical engineering-based advice on surface water management for new developments.

We can offer a varied workload, training and support to further increase your technical competence. Cambridgeshire County Council offers flexible working arrangements, a local government pension and a comprehensive package of staff benefits including savings on big name brands and independent stores, Cycle 2 Work and The Car Benefit scheme.

The role is hybrid, which means there is flexibility on where you can work. Options include working from home, our office at New Shire Hall (Alconbury Weald) and other offices across the county.

What will you be doing?

- Work with local communities to help them prepare for and respond to flooding as well as investigating flood incidents in partnership with other risk management authorities

Testimonial from one of our current staff members: _“Working within the SuDS and Flood Risk team has given me the chance to learn a whole new way of thinking, with full training being provided by the other members of the team and external organisations. This job allows me to have a good work-life balance and there is enough flexibility with working patterns that I can continue to pursue my outside hobbies and interests.”_

About you
A recent new starter had this to say about joining our team:

- “Being a new starter myself I can vouch that there is an immediate sense of welcome and cohesion within the team, I find that the job has many different aspects to it which in turn means there is always something different to focus on. Having an environmental background means that I find the work very interesting.”_

To be successful in this role, we are looking for someone who is:

- Confident in assessing complex and technical drainage information and plans against national legislation, local policies, guidance and best practice
- Able to provide drainage and flood risk management advice from a regulatory perspective
- Able to make informed and independent decisions with mínimal supervision
- Pro-active and show initiative to develop new ideas
- Manage workload effectively to meet strict deadlines while being a part of a dynamic and busy team
- Clear and confident in communicating complex information sensitively to a wide range of audiences
- Ability to negotiate with developers and stakeholders to ensure the continued delivery of high quality outputs
- Be computer literate with experience in GIS systems and using databases
