Are you passionate about the rivers, lakes, and coastal waters in Wessex? Do you have an interest in environmental improvements?

We are looking for an enthusiastic, self-motivated individual to take on this critical role in addressing the nutrient challenges in some of our most highly protected environments.
Focusing on catchment plans that will reduce excessive nutrients and improve water quality, you will have the opportunity to use your environmental knowledge, data management skills and project management abilities to lead work across multiple disciplines to facilitate environmental improvements.

You will develop and implement these plans and in doing so you will:

• bring together monitoring data, modelling, and other evidence on nutrient challenges in key catchments
• work with internal and external partners to refine the evidence base and identify measures that will result in positive environmental change
• secure multi agency agreement and drive identified measures through to implementation
• engage with other relevant catchment strategies, plans, and projects to integrate and address nutrient challenges, and in doing so develop a sustainable future for our environment.

Responding to incidents is a central part of what we do. 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.

The role can be based at either our Blandford or Bridgwater Offices, with flexible home working included. As a dispersed team, there is an occasional need to travel. Flexible working arrangements are in place to support your work/life balance.

The interviews are likely to be held week beginning 26th June.

We’re looking for applicants who believe that having a truly diverse, representative, and engaged workforce is fundamental to protect the environment and effectively serve our communities.
