- This is an exciting opportunity to join an Asset Performance team in the UK’s biggest environmental organisation. We manage flood risk assets across Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire to ensure they protect our communities from the risk of flooding. As professional Asset Managers, you will be part of a team inspecting, maintaining and refurbishing flood risk assets which include kilometres of riverbanks, sluice gates and flood storage reservoirs among other things.

Your enthusiasm and positive attitude will help you find solutions that deliver our priorities. You will help manage our asset data to ensure it is of the best quality and can be relied on to inform our future investment programme. This may include site work to understand our asset base and to collect, analyse and interpret information to ensure we manage it well. You will be trained to undertake inspections of our assets.

Responding to incidents is a central part of what we do. You will be required to have an incident role (Flood Incident Duty Officer) 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.
