The Environment Agency are fully committed to having an inclusive workforce to reflect the communities we serve. We don't just talk about diversity; we seek it, embrace it, and live it, for the benefit of our staff, our communities, and our environment. As Asset Management Team Leader for South Somerset, you’ll be accountable for making sure our flood defences are working as effectively as possible. The patch covers a large area, from Minehead to Bridgwater on the coast and as far inland as the Dorset border. You will be in charge of hundreds of tidal and fluvial assets, including pumping stations, sluices, weirs, tidal doors and a network of riverbanks and sea walls. This is a key role and as a motivated leader you’ll lead a team of around 12 people and work closely with stakeholders across the area to deliver the best possible flood defence and environmental enhancement. You’ll also form part of the wider area leadership group and work closely with the field teams and biodiversity teams among others. The tasks and challenges are varied, including prioritising asset investment, directing the maintenance and operation programme, preparing for and responding to incidents and communicating and engaging with customers. If you want to expand or further develop your leadership skills or you’re seeking a new role in leadership and believe you have the capabilities to make a great leader, then this is the role for you.
