Number of jobs available- 25
- Region- East Midlands, East of England, North East, North West, South West, West Midlands, Yorkshire and the Humber
- City/Town- Birmingham, Bristol, Exeter, Ipswich, Nottingham, Sheffield, Warrington
- Grade- Staff Grade 3
- Post Type- Permanent
- Working Pattern- Full Time
- Role Type- Environment & Sustainability, Geography
- Salary Minimum- £25,042
- Job description- If you’re part of the Environment Agency (EA), you’re part of the solution. Working with us means protecting and improving the environment and tackling issues of national importance. We’re based across England, and our responsibilities span industry regulation, flood defences, land contamination, water quality, fisheries and conservation.
Such a broad scope of work calls for diverse, multi-skilled teams. Together, we’ll promote sustainable growth, tackle climate change and secure a better future for everyone.

It's highly varied and challenging work that plays a key role in creating a cleaner and safer environment for people and wildlife. You’ll develop relationships with a range of partners and support key functions including flooding and environmental response.
- The team- This is an exciting opportunity to work in a role which is focussed on protecting the environment and supporting economic growth at a critical time.
You will be part of the wider National Permitting Service, working within one of our permitting regimes:

- Waste
- Water Quality
- Water Resources
- Flood Risk Activity

You will be based at one of our national offices with the option to work flexibly.
- Experience/skills required- Whilst relevant work experience would be an advantage, it’s less important than the key transferrable skills and personal qualities we’re looking for. Experience of environmental permitting is not essential, however you’ll have some experience or interest in the environment and regulation.

You’ll be skilled in data and information management and be able to gather and manipulate data by analysing and tailoring it to your audience. You’ll be able to have difficult conversations with customers and be confident making risk-based decisions.
- Contact and additional information- You’ll benefit from a culture that embraces difference and includes everyone, where you’ll feel supported and trusted to do the right thing. We’ll invest in you and allow you to grow and shape your career. What’s more, you’ll have access to our great benefits package, including generous annual leave, paid membership of an institute, an excellent pension, flexible working arrangements and the opportunity to be part of a variety of staff networks.
