You’ll identify, organise, and coordinate training to test our incident response plans. This will include communicating with customers, landowners, partners, and members of the public. You’ll be on a standby rota that will attract additional standby payments and potential overtime. Our response can be called upon 24hrs a day 365 days a year and you will be expected to take your place on a rota for this once trained.
