FCRMS Asset Management Business Systems Team Senior Advisor - 32232
Posted 1 day ago
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 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 the management of our 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. These tools help the EA 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 alongside other AMBST‑supported tools for the infrastructure programme and asset management.
Responsibilities
* Support EA and external users of operational carbon tools.
* Manage and deliver a range of services to users of carbon tools.
* Agree and maintain services with a range of different user groups.
* Serve as a senior product user for digital improvement projects of our carbon tools and data.
* Plan and manage user activities for implementation of carbon tool changes and improvements.
* Manage the resources and funding for carbon tools support and maintenance.
* Collaborate with operational carbon communities and national leads as required.
* Work with IT suppliers and colleagues in FCRM, Operations teams throughout England, and Defra’s Digital, Data and Technology Services (DDTS). Also coordinate with Local Authorities, Water Companies, Internal Drainage Boards, and the civil engineering supply chain.
