Crynodeb
Reducing the impacts of a changing climate on people and wildlife is at the heart of everything we do at the Environment Agency. We run a national flood forecasting service and a £5.2bn programme to reduce flood risk. We have invested over £7 million in flood hydrology through the Flood Hydrology Improvements Programme. This is an exciting opportunity for a senior specialist in hydrology to shape the future of operational flood hydrology through that programme.
As one of the EA’s most senior flood hydrologists you will provide technical leadership nationally and champion improvements to flood hydrology.
You will use your specialist hydrological expertise to design, deliver and advise on improvements projects such as: the creation of a framework for benchmarking hydrological approaches and; scoping the next generation of UK operational flood estimation approaches.
Responsibilities include:
• Providing hydrological expertise for national strategic projects
• Advising on technical priorities and delivering improvements
• Collaborating with others from across the EA and hydrological community to ensure improvements are well-designed for end users
• Leading the development of scopes for improvements projects working with others internally and externally
• Guiding and working with suppliers to ensure work is appropriate, proportionate and of sufficient quality
• Review and sign-off of in-house and commissioned flood hydrology projects
You will constructively challenge the status quo to influence peers and management within the EA.
You will be committed to diversity in hydrology and have a passion for developing the next generation of hydrologists.
As a senior technical specialist, you will represent the EA externally. You will keep up with developments in hydrological science and communicate these internally.
We are fully committed to having an inclusive workforce to reflect the communities we serve. We welcome flexible working patterns for all our vacancies, including job share.
The team
The Flood Hydrology Improvements Programme team is a thriving team of hydrologists, project and programme managers dedicated flood hydrology improvements within the Environment Agency. We are a dispersed team of 10 people and form part of Evidence and Risk (E&R), a national team of 140 that provides expert analysis and advice to manage flood risk and improve resilience across England.
Experience/skills required
You will be an expert in flood hydrology with a relevant degree or equivalent (preferably masters or higher)
with:
• In-depth understanding of hydrological processes, how models simulate them and model limitations
• Extensive experience building and calibrating hydrological models for floods
• Good understanding of the ways flood hydrology is used in practice in England with an understanding of the Flood Estimation Handbook methods and extreme value theory
• Ability to foster partnership between diverse groups and create change
• Experience with hydrometric data and an understanding of data limitations
• High standards and a commitment to quality
• Sound scientific reasoning and ability to make practical compromises
• Good mathematical ability with capability to appraise novel hydrological methods
• Ability to build relationships and communicate hydrological concepts to non-technical audiences
• A passion for self-development and coaching others
