Senior Flood Risk Officer

6 months ago

Northampton, United Kingdom West Northamptonshire Council 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.

What will you be doing?
The purpose of this post is to assist in the delivery of the council’s duties as Lead Local Flood Authority, under the Flood and Water Management Act, with a particular focus on the duty to investigate flood incidents.

The role will require undertaking detailed investigations into significant incidents, as well as providing bespoke advice to those affected by minor incidents. This will include working with affected communities to promote personal and community resilience. Where investigations identify the need for further work, the post-holder will work with partners and colleagues to bring forward the required improvements in order to reduce the risk and impact of flooding in West Northamptonshire. This may involve undertaking enforcement action, where flood risk is increased by unauthorised activity.

About you

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.
