Whilst working in this role you will be involved in a wide variety of surveying work: this will keep your days varied and interesting and will enable you to gain a wide breadth of knowledge and experience.  Your work will include helping to deliver our national flood risk programme, overseeing various operation projects and managing a diverse land portfolio.  You will also provide assistance to the acquisition and compensation programme for major capital works.

You’ll be expected to visit remote field sites around your work area, so you’ll need a willingness to travel and a full UK driving licence. The salary package for this role includes a lease car.

About us

We operate at the place where environmental change has its greatest impact on people’s lives.  We reduce the risks to people and properties from flooding; make sure there is enough water for people and wildlife; protect and improve air, land and water quality and apply the environmental standards within which industry can operate. From regulating major industry to improving water quality, from reducing pollution incidents to the regulation of waste management activities, it’s our job to create a better place for people and wildlife.

The Estates service offers professional support for Environment Agency land, property, compensation and valuation matters.  Our experienced Chartered Surveyors specialise in negotiating access to sites so that our frontline colleagues can do their vital work.  We deal with compensation claims from land and property owners where they have suffered loss as a consequence of the Environment Agency's work.  We also manage the Environment Agency's own landholdings and provide a comprehensive valuation service.

We are passionate about employing people from all backgrounds that reflect the diverse communities we serve. We aspire to be the best employer in the country for equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and want all our staff to feel valued and respected and to see this as a great place to work. From our EDI executive champions to our EDI employee networks, everyone has a part to play to embed equality, diversity and inclusion in our organisation. Diversity: it’s in our nature. Help us make a difference in an organisation that embraces difference and values everyone.
