Covering Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex, you will ensure our flood risk management assets are compliant with the eel and fish regulations. We have a network of eel and fish passes and screens on our structures and need to ensure that these are always maintained and operational.
This is a key role, at the forefront of our asset management and compliance. You will be involved in projects to implement new eel and fish passes and intake screens. You'll manage a program of maintenance, providing drive and commitment to ensure that our eel passage and screening assets are performing effectively and achieving legal compliance.
You will also be involved in our incident response procedures, how they are executed and trained, ensuring our incident staff are trained and knowledgeable in what to do when dealing with eel and fish incidents.
Responding to incidents is a central part of what we do. You may 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 additional payments and overtime opportunities, and full training and alternative working arrangements will be available to support you with your incident role.
If you want to be part of this rewarding challenge, combining asset management and legislative compliance with the knowledge you are helping create an environment for fish and eels to thrive, then this is role for you.

- Experience/skills required- Essential:

- The ability to organise and prioritise workloads in an ever-changing environment.
- The ability to work to strict deadlines.
- Able to work independently but with an ability to work in teams and bring teams together.
- A desire to learn and develop, and to absorb legislative information.
- Good communication skills - written, verbal and an active listener
- Driving licence

It would be helpful, but not essential, if you had:

- Previous experience working with eel and fish passes.
- Previous program management experience.
- Experience in flood risk management and/or asset management. But you will be given all the training and support you need
- An appreciation of health and safety of flood risk assets
- 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.

A full UK driving licence is essential.
Eligibility for lease cars is made based on the role.
