FCRMS Asset Management Business Systems Team Senior Advisor - 32232
Position: Senior Advisor within the Asset Management Business Systems Team (AMBST). Eligible for mid‑senior level, full‑time employment.
Job Description
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 such as flooding, drought, sea‑level rise, and coastal change. Our asset‑management business system includes carbon management, supporting the goal of becoming a Net Zero Carbon organisation. Carbon management is embedded in both the delivery of our infrastructure programme and in the 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, allowing 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.
Key Responsibilities

* Managing the resources and funding for carbon‑tool support and maintenance
* Working with operational carbon communities and national leads as required
In addition, you will work with IT suppliers and colleagues across the EA, including FCRM, operations teams throughout England, and Defra’s Digital, Data and Technology Services (DDTS). You will also engage with local authorities, water companies, internal drainage boards, and the civil‑engineering supply chain.
