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.
We’re looking for an experienced water resources specialist with knowledge of how groundwater modelling is used across the organisation to lead and grow a national team. As a strategic leader, you will work with the national groundwater team on a programme of regulatory groundwater model development to support business decisions in local operations.
You will develop the operational element of the groundwater modelling strategy, deliver an efficient process for commissioning groundwater modelling work, and ensure our groundwater models support regulation of groundwater to protect the environment and deliver for the businesses we regulate.
In this role you will drive forward changes in the way the Environment Agency uses regulatory groundwater models, working in an integrated way internally and externally towards sustainable abstraction.
A proven team player with excellent communication skills, you will be capable of influencing and advising across the organisation. Working with key stakeholders, you’ll build relationships and communicate clearly to guide and influence what people do. You will provide technical leadership with a vision for growing and developing the wider groundwater community and skills.
Primary duties include:
- Team Leader of a small team supporting groundwater model development and programme management in Lincs & Northants and East Anglia Areas.
- Leading on development of our national operational groundwater modelling strategy, including a long-term investment plan.
- Support the development of a national framework contract to ensure timely delivery of our modelling programme.
- Influencing senior leaders and working with our Senior Advisors (Groundwater Skills and Resilience) to develop technical career pathways and resilience in groundwater modelling.
The team
You’ll join our National OCS Water Resources Team. We are a national operations team providing a range of water resources support and guidance. We work closely with technical and project teams across the organisation, as well as external stakeholders.
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
You’ll bring a range of skills and experience:
• Proven leadership and team management skills to inspire and motivate a team of groundwater modellers
• Strong communication and people skills, with the ability to influence and engage at all levels
• Ability to manage complex technical work and deliver results
• A good problem-solver to drive forward change
• Skilled at building trust and influencing others to gain support and take action
• Experienced groundwater or water resources specialist who has worked with or developed groundwater models
• Educated to a degree level (or equivalent) in a relevant discipline.
• Chartered membership of a professional body would be desirable.
Please demonstrate your:
• ability to work effectively with people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures and actively encourage others to consider diversity issues in their work.
You’ll have a range of development opportunities and appropriate training will be provided.
