Experience providing professional and technical advice on flood and coastal management matters.
Proven experience contributing to the delivery of local flood risk strategies.
Demonstrable experience in the development and delivery (including construction) of civil infrastructure projects, ideally relating to coastal defences, drainage and flood risk management.
Strong ability to assess flood risk issues at both desktop and site level and produce proportionate, informed assessments.
