Dorchester, Dorset, United Kingdom newscientist - Jobboard Full time
About the Role:

We are seeking a skilled Flood Risk Management Specialist to join our team. As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for reducing flood risk from surface water, watercourse, and groundwater sources of local flooding.

You will work closely with our knowledgeable team, acting as Lead Local Flood Authority, to find solutions to reduce flood risk.

We are committed to supporting your continual professional development, whatever the stage of your career.

The post presents an excellent opportunity to develop and expand your existing knowledge, skills, and experience within a busy flood risk management environment.

We encourage hybrid and flexible working that supports a healthy work-life balance. The role envisages potential for significant home working.


Our priorities include supporting delivery of sustainable flood risk development, investigating flood events, consenting/enforcement activities within watercourses, and development of local flood risk management schemes.

This position partly involves responding to major planning consultations as Statutory Planning Consultee for the management of surface water.

You will be undertaking the technical review of flood risk assessments, submitted in support of new development proposals, and making recommendations to planning decision-makers.

This will involve negotiating and influencing solutions in line with policy, standards, and best practice.

The position also includes investigating flooding incidents and identifying sustainable outcomes to reduce future flood risk. About You:


You will ideally have recent experience of evaluating flood risk assessments and the design of surface water drainage systems in support of new development proposals.

Consideration will also be given to applicants who have less experience but a desire to develop in the flood risk management arena.


You will have enthusiasm and drive in working with developers, consultants, partner organizations, and stakeholders in order to achieve sustainable flood risk reduction outcomes.


We are looking for a self-driven, motivated person with a passion for supporting flood risk communities in a sustainable manner.

Skills considered essential include communication, workload management, and the ability to assess drainage issues.

This post requires significant travel.
