Crynodeb
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 are looking for an enthusiastic individual to support new work on the implementation of the Water (Special Measures) Act. Focussing on overflows and Event Duration Monitoring (EDM) data, this role will help shape and implement the regulation of new legislation. Transparent and robust data and information are key to our effective regulation and being able to interpret this data will be fundamental to this role. This role will also play a key part in the continual improvement of regulatory external reporting of storm and emergency overflow Event Duration Monitoring performance.
Your role will face external stakeholders such as Defra, where you will advise on policy and legislative development. You will also work with water companies in shaping regulatory tools and delivering programmes of work. A key aspect of your role will be embedding new processes into business as usual within the water industry and our own operational teams.
This is an exciting time to join the team and help steer the work that the Environment Agency and water companies do.
You’ll have a range of development opportunities and appropriate training will be provided. The work area is developing and initially you may support other work including tracking delivery of SOAF investigations or managing receipt of regulatory data returns.
We value diversity of thought, background, and experience and believe it enriches our work and benefits our people, communities, and the environment. We work in a national team, in the Environment and Business directorate, enabling strategic change within the water sector particularly focusing upon storm and emergency overflows.

You’ll join our Storm Overflow Programme Delivery team which is part of the Water Quality Regulatory Development team in Water Regulation. Water Regulation is a national, dispersed team which uses evidence, engagement and innovation to support delivery, influence policy and secure resources for regulation of the water industry and wider water sector.
