The Environment Agency are fully committed to having an inclusive workforce to reflect the communities we serve. We don't just talk about diversity; we seek it, embrace it, and live it, for the benefit of our staff, our communities, and our environment.
Are you looking to use your technical knowledge to improve and protect our water quality?
Section 82 of the Environment Act 2021 places a duty on sewerage undertakers to continuously monitor the quality of the receiving water upstream and downstream of their storm overflow, and from discharges from wastewater treatment works. We are recruiting a senior advisor to support the implementation of this duty. As a successful candidate, you will develop quality assurance standards for monitoring equipment, installation, calibration and ongoing quality assurance. The programme will also include developing quality assurance for data acquisition and handling.
As post holder, you will:
• Lead and develop the standards required for continuous water quality monitoring.
• Produce a standard for the siting and installation of continuous water monitoring equipment.
• Produce a quality assurance standard for the calibration and ongoing quality assurance of continuous water quality monitoring equipment.
• Produce a quality assurance standard for data capture, storage, sharing and validation.
• Extend the Environment Agency’s Monitoring certification scheme (MCERTS) to this application.
You will also have an inclusive incident management objective. We’ll help you find a role to suit your needs. Appropriate training will be given.
Our Monitoring Certification (MCERTS) team provides specialist advice on monitoring emissions to air, water and land from industrial processes. We manage the Environment Agency’s MCERTS schemes.
The team
You will be working in the Monitoring Certification (MCERTS) team, part of Monitoring and Assessment within the Chief Regulator’s Group.
We are a dispersed team, working with a range of colleagues across the country, and part of the Environment and Business (E&B) Directorate.
In E&B we promote a positive, inclusive, and supportive culture where everyone feels valued. We use evidence, expertise, engagement, and innovation to enhance and support delivery, influence policy, legislation, and secure resources.
Experience/skills required
In your capability-based answers please demonstrate your ability to work effectively with people from different backgrounds and cultures, actively encouraging others to consider diversity issues in their work.
You will have a relevant degree in a scientific, technical or engineering subject, or equivalent experience. You will have significant technical and scientific experience of continuous water quality monitoring, including detailed knowledge of:
• Water monitoring equipment
• International standards and methods for monitoring of wastewater
• Water quality monitoring networks
• Certification of equipment applicable to this area of work
To achieve the role objectives, you will:
• Lead on producing continuous water quality monitoring standards.
• Use specialised technical and scientific knowledge to produce standards.
• Interact widely, developing and maintaining effective relationships with external stakeholders, such as DEFRA, water companies, consultancies, UKAS and certification bodies.
• Be able to deliver a complex project in a short period of time.
