Job description

Water is the heart of all we do, drinking, washing, recreation, industry and health. Our environment and economy depend on this precious resource.

Clean water is essential and as water becomes an increasingly important resource we need to ensure that it can provide the functions we require of it.

We have an exciting opportunity for you to play your part in improving bathing waters in the beautiful and diverse environments of the Solent and South Downs.

We need your knowledge and experience to help manage the quality of our bathing waters to ensure they are fit for swimming.

If you're passionately committed to the environment, one who sees the risks, understands what needs to be done and can work closely with those who hold the key to change, you can ensure our water environment functions for nature and society.

You'll work closely with national policy and process, area delivery and key customers on aspects of strategic planning, incident management and local action on the ground.

From water company investment programmes to land management from moors to coasts. We need someone to plan our response to current pressures and future demands.

Can you help?

The team

You’ll join a team of environment planners who focus predominantly on water quality and Water Framework Directive activities in the Solent and Downs area. You'll work alongside a dispersed team and with operational teams, national colleagues and water companies. The team collates, analyses and shares data to produce environmental evidence that informs and drives area priorities.

Experience/skills required

Please demonstrate in your capability-based answers:

Ability to work effectively with people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures and actively encourage others to consider diversity issues in their work

The skills and experience we are looking for include:

Good knowledge and/or experience of (or ability to learn about) water quality planning and ecology
Ability or experience with technical conversations with both internal and external partners
Political awareness to deliver the right service when dealing with customers and stakeholders
The ability to work collaboratively with other teams
The ability to articulate solutions to problems in a simple, engaging way
Good judgment, problem solving and decision making skills
Good planning skills, with the ability to handle multiple priorities and deliver to tight timescales.
Water quality modelling experience or aptitude to learn
GIS mapping skills or aptitude to learn

Contact and additional information

We use smart tools to stay connected and reduce travel, some travel and overnights may be required.

Please read the Candidate / Additional Information Pack for information. Any queries, contact [email protected]

Applications are “blind” assessed using your answers to the competency questions.

Interviews will be held face-to-face at our Worthing office within two weeks of the closing date.
