FCRMS Asset Management Business Systems Team Senior Advisor - 32232
The Environment Agency is seeking a Senior Advisor for the Asset Management Business Systems Team. We focus on carbon management to support our corporate objective of becoming a Net Zero Carbon organisation and embedding carbon tools in the delivery of our infrastructure programme and asset management.
Overview
The carbon management process is supported by existing and developing carbon tools that enable construction projects and suppliers to meet mandatory carbon assessment requirements. The EA uses these tools to produce a carbon footprint for assets that need to be reduced over future years. The Asset Management Business Systems Team supports all EA teams and suppliers in using carbon tools and ensures they become a core asset management system alongside other AMBST tools.
