Working with Area operational teams, National policy makers and stakeholders we shape and produce environmental plans that drive forwards Area priorities.
The ability and willingness to attend regular internal and external face to face meetings across either the East or West Midlands is key to the success of this role.
- Experience/skills required-
You should be qualified to degree level or higher in a relevant environmental discipline. Membership of, or working towards a membership of, a relevant professional institute (e.g.CIWEM) is desirable. Ideally, you will be experienced in:

- Data analysis/research and/or modelling tools and techniques
- Gathering, maintaining, quality-assuring data and using a variety of techniques to present data/information in a convincing and engaging way
- Ability to translate guidance and policy areas into language suitable for the audience

- You’ll have good organisational skills/discipline and the ability to plan, track, deliver and evaluate own work.
- Contact and additional information-
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.
