Working as a Flood and Coastal Risk Management Advisor in the Partnerships and Strategic Overview Team, you will be working at the very heart of this organisation, helping to protect people and property from flooding.
Responsibilities will include:

- Taking responsibility as senior user for the development of our flood risk management projects or supporting other Risk Management Authorities [RMAs] in the development of their projects.

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- The Partnership and Strategic Overview teams focus on four areas - evidence (data, modelling and mapping), strategic overview and planning (overview of flood risk from all sources and tactical direction), project development and delivery (including with other RMAs) and regulation (e.g., planning consultations and environmental permits). We aim to create more resilient catchments so flooding causes less harm to people, results in less damage and those affected can return to normal more quickly.
- Experience/skills required- We are looking for someone who is motivated and passionate with the ability to drive forward outcomes and achieve positive results.
Understanding of flood and coastal risk management including engineering and nature-based solutions.
- Able to act as a senior user with experience of the project environment, developing, assessing and evaluating business cases.
- Good problem-solving capabilities including developing innovative solutions.
- Strong communication skills including engagement, influencing, negotiation, customer and relationship management.
- Able to organise and deliver time critical work by planning, tracking, gathering and maintaining data/information.
- Be able to technically coach and mentor others.
- Flexible to the needs of the organisation and new ways of working.
- Competence in Geographic Information Systems advantageous.

A full UK driving licence is essential.
Contact and additional information- In East Anglia we want to create a diverse workplace where individuals are respected, valued and listened to. We’re all different, and by embracing Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) we can become an equal opportunity employer where we grow and learn together.
It is our ambition to champion diversity through building a workforce as diverse as the communities we serve.
