We value a diverse workforce and welcome applications from all sections of the community wishing to join a workforce which embraces difference and welcomes everyone.
Are you interested in being part of a flagship flood risk scheme for the South West? We are looking for a Project Manager to join the team delivering the Bridgwater Tidal Barrier, designed to protect thousands of homes and businesses from tidal flooding.
With sea levels projected to rise by up to one metre over the next 100 years and more frequent extreme weather events, the scheme offers long-term protection and resilience. It will also bring lasting community benefit through improved access and connectivity in the local area.
You will deliver aspects of the scheme within one of three workstreams, two of which are currently in construction. You will support project team members, flexing your involvement to suit the strength of the team. This role sits within Project & Programme Delivery (SW Hub).
You will build a collaborative working environment with our suppliers, client representatives and other technical specialists. Applying your strong commercial acumen in project, contract and risk management, you will establish effective relationships and facilitate collaborative and efficient ways of working.
You will make project decisions informed by technical leads whilst following governance procedures, project assurance and legislation. The ability to develop a resilient network of relationships with stakeholders is crucial to the success of the role.
Everyone that joins us is required to undertake training and participate in incident response duties when the need to respond arises. Having an incident role is an essential part of working for the Environment Agency and an active way to support communities and prevent harm to the environment. Further information on incident response can be found within your candidate pack.
