We value a diverse workforce and welcome applications from all sections of the community wishing to join a workforce which embraces difference and welcomes everyone.
We are looking for a Project Support Officer to support the delivery of exciting, innovative projects including schemes that reduce the risk of flooding to communities and enhance the environment. This is a key role enabling us as a team to deliver on our ambitious targets.

You will 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 an additional payment and full training and alternative working arrangements will be available to support you with your incident role.
