Environment Agency

Environmental Planning Officer (CAMS)
£17,000 - £23,500 + benefits
Lichfield, Nottingham, and Tewkesbury/Shrewsbury/Kidderminster

At the Environment Agency, our job is to ensure that society's demand for water is met in a sustainable manner that protects the environment.

We know there is growing competition for limited supplies.

Therefore we face an exciting challenge set against the background of developing knowledge of the environment's water needs, uncertainty about climate and a major programme of legislative reform.

Water is an essential resource for life. Rivers and streams along with groundwater resources support a diverse range of wildlife and habitats, yet they are also subject to ever increasing pressure to meet human water supply needs.

You will be part of a team responsible for waste, water quality and water resources planning including the preparation of Catchment Abstraction Management Strategies (CAMS).

This includes:-

- informing the public on water resources and licensing practice.
- providing a consistent approach to local water resources management.
- helping to balance the needs of water users and the environment.
- involving the public in managing the water resources in their area.

With particular responsibility for meeting the Area's timetable with respect to the production of CAMS you may also get involved with other aspects of the team's work. This will involve collating environmental information for use in the Resource Assessment and Management Framework; assessment of sustainability issues; production of CAMS documents and reports and consultation with stakeholders and other interested parties outside the Agency.

We will be looking for a degree in environmental/earth sciences with several years experience in Water Resources, preferably in the Regulatory aspects. You must be analytical by nature, with good verbal and written communication skills and an ability to understand the wider picture.

Experience of Project Management and the proven ability to deliver to deadlines would be an advantage.

A team worker, you will be self-motivated, and possess excellent computer skills. The ability to use GIS facilities would be a distinct advantage, as would the possession of a full driving licence.

In return, we offer some great benefits including ongoing training and development, final salary pension, flexible working, generous holidays and family friendly policies. For more information and to apply for this role and others within the team, please visit www.environment-agency.gov.uk/jobs.

Alternatively, please call 01925 542273 or email: gill.pollitt@environment-agency.gov.uk quoting reference 13208.

If you are a disabled candidate meeting the minimum criteria, we offer a guaranteed interview.

Closing date: 12 May 2008.

We are committed to making our organisation as diverse as the environment

Therefore we face an exciting challenge set against the background of developing knowledge of the environment's water needs, uncertainty about climate and a major programme of legislative reform.

At the Environment Agency, water and its effective management play a crucial part of our wide-ranging remit to deliver environmental improvement.

To do this we depend on the technical expertise of our staff. Hydrology underpins much of our success at the Environment Agency as it supports the work of many of our regulatory and water management functions. Our hydrologists monitor, analyse, assess, forecast and report on the water environment.

Your work will involve helping to keep the Area Catchment Abstraction Management Strategies (CAMS) up-to-date, managing hydrological data sets, operating and maintaining hydrological models, undertaking flow naturalisation and writing hydrological reports.

You will also deal with day-to-day requests from internal and external customers requiring hydrological information. To succeed, you will need significant hydrological or water resources-related experience combined with a degree in an environmental discipline.

You will also have a numerate scientific background, be proficient in IT and GIS systems and be working towards chartered membership of CIWEM or have BHS membership. A full driving licence is essential.

Senior Environmental Planning Officer (RSA)
£23,800 - £27,000 + benefits
Lichfield - Full time
Nottingham - Maternity cover for a minimum of 6 months

Our job is to ensure that society's demand for water is met in a sustainable manner that protects the environment.

We know there is growing competition for limited supplies. Therefore we face an exciting challenge set against the background of developing knowledge of the environment's water needs, uncertainty about climate and a major programme of legislative reform.

At the Environment Agency, water and its effective management play a crucial part of our wide-ranging remit to deliver environmental improvement.

To do this we depend on the technical expertise of our staff. Indeed, as the issues become more complex it's critical that we have a pool of skilled people to deal with an array of challenging projects in the Midlands Region. Restoring Sustainable Abstraction (RSA) is a huge, diverse and challenging area for us.

If abstraction by water companies, local business or industries is having a negative effect on the environment, we have the duty to control the situation and create lasting change.

Not simply by 'policing' activities, but by understanding communities, building relationships and recommending solutions. Our RSA programme creates a framework for investigating and resolving issues right across England. This is a huge task and we need experienced individuals to represent us in each geographical area.

Join them and you will make this role your own; getting to know the local area inside and out; looking at data to review the impact of abstractions on rivers and wetlands, and where appropriate sponsor or manage specific projects to restore affected sites in order to improve the water environment and its ecosystems.

To succeed you will need a degree in an environmental discipline, have relevant working experience and be working towards professional membership. You will be seen as a key figure in the eyes of the local groups and stakeholders so influencing and negotiating skills are crucial.

Project management experience would also be an advantage.

A full driving licence is essential.

In return, we offer some great benefits including ongoing training and development, final salary pension, flexible working, generous holidays and family friendly policies.
