FCRMS Asset Management Business Systems Team Senior Advisor - 32232
Posted 1 week ago.
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 embedded in both the delivery of our infrastructure programme and in managing 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, enabling 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.

* Coordinate with IT suppliers and other EA teams, including colleagues in FCR, Operations teams throughout England, and in Defra’s Digital, Data and Technology Services (DDTS).
* Collaborate with Local Authorities, Water Companies, Internal Drainage Boards and the civil engineering supply chain.
