FCRMS Asset Management Business Systems Team Senior Advisor - 32232
The Environment Agency creates better places for people, wildlife, and the environment. We put the climate emergency at the heart of everything we do and help society adapt to environmental challenges like flooding, drought, sea level rise and coastal change.
Our asset management business system includes carbon management to meet our corporate objective of becoming a Net Zero Carbon organisation. Carbon management is being fully embedded in both the delivery of our infrastructure programme and in our management of assets.
The carbon management process is supported by existing and developing carbon tools that enable construction projects and suppliers to meet mandatory carbon assessment requirements that enable the EA to produce a carbon footprint for all assets that need to be reduced over future years.
The Asset Management Business Systems Team supports all EA teams and suppliers in their use of carbon tools and ensures they become a ‘core’ asset management system operating with other AMBST supported tools for the infrastructure programme and asset management.
The work will involve but is not limited to:
- Supporting EA and external users of operational carbon tools
- Managing and delivering a range of services to users of carbon tools
- Agreeing and maintaining services with a range of different user groups
- Being a senior product user for digital improvement projects of our carbon tools and data
- Planning and managing user activities in the implementation of carbon tool changes and improvements
- Managing the resources and funding for carbon tools support and maintenance
- Working with operational carbon communities and national leads as required.
This role will involve working with IT suppliers and others within the EA, including colleagues in FCRM, Operations teams throughout England and in Defra’s Digital, Data and Technology Services (DDTS). Along with Local Authorities, Water Companies, Internal Drainage Boards, and the civil engineering supply chain.
