Job Type: Full Time
Job Location: England
Company Name: Environment Agency

Company Overview

We are the Environment Agency. We are the biggest and most wide-ranging environmental regulator in Europe. We work with businesses and communities to protect and improve the environment, for people and wildlife. And the need for our work is becoming ever more important. We protect and improve the environment across England to: • reduce the risks to people and properties from flooding • help businesses and communities adapt to climate change • reduce pressures on biodiversity • help businesses to make sure they don’t harm the environment through pollution or taking too much water • issue licences and permits, and take action against people who don’t take their environmental responsibilities seriously.
None of this is possible without a multi-talented team of professional and dedicated people. And just like the environment we help to care for, we’re home to an incredible diversity of skills and knowledge. Today, we employ more than 12,000 people throughout England in a wide range of roles. You’ll find leading scientists and prominent geologists alongside public relations professionals, planners and policy advisors. We employ lawyers, enforcement officers and engineers, conservation scientists and marine biologists. And of course we have a wide team of support staff. We employ people at all stages of their career, from recent graduates to experienced leaders and internationally-renowned experts.

About the job

Job Description

At the Environment Agency, we are committed to fostering an inclusive workforce where diversity thrives. We embrace equal opportunities and flexible working arrangements, ensuring that everyone can contribute meaningfully and achieve their potential.

Do you have experience of data analysis and dynamic reporting of intelligence and insight? Are you motivated by the opportunity to influence and improve the environmental performance of the water industry? If so, this opportunity may be for you.

The environmental performance of water companies is not where we expect it to be. We are working hard to influence companies to get this back on track. The availability and integrity of data, information and intelligence is vital to drive improvement.

This role involves collating and assessing water company performance data and intelligence using an accurate and consistent approach. You will need to turn this into reports, dashboards and infographics, enabling the review of performance trends and influencing the actions we take as a regulator. You will also explore opportunities to help shape, influence and deliver new and improved performance products.

To be successful in this role you need to go beyond the traditional data analytics to provide a modern business intelligence capability. You will work with teams across our business to influence and improve how data and evidence is used. The role will also help to drive better engagement with fellow regulators on data sharing and collection.

Responding to incidents is a central part of what we do. You will be required to have an incident role and make yourself available to respond to incidents or provide business continuity support during an incident. This may attract an additional payment and full training, and alternative working arrangements will be available to support you with your incident role.

The team

You’ll join the National Account Team in Operations Catchment Services, a national-once department providing environmental planning, account management and evidence delivery expertise.

We’re a friendly, dispersed team that use smart tools to stay connected. Our job is to work across operations, supporting directors and their staff to influence water companies to improve performance, reduce environmental impact and improve the environment through their activities and investment. Your work will be at the heart of this effort.

Experience/skills Required

We are looking for candidates with either a degree in an environmental discipline, equivalent relevant experience, or a data expert.

Through experience to date you should be able to demonstrate:

  • Knowledge of water companies and their environmental data/ performance
  • Strong data analysis and interpretation skills
  • Effective written, visual and verbal communications skills and ability to adapt communication style to suit the audience
  • Ability to manage and present accurate data and information effectively
  • Highly organised and can plan, track, deliver and evaluate work to defined deadlines
  • Independent problem solving and decision-making skills
  • The ability to self-start and be comfortable working under own initiative in a dispersed, virtual team environment.
  • You have a strong focus on efficiency, innovation, and data quality
  • Embrace diversity to benefit our staff, communities, and our environment
