The Vacancy

North Lincolnshire is a rural area with picturesque villages and within easy reach of the North
East, Yorkshire and the East Midlands. The motorway and rail network enables easy access to
many major cities. North Lincolnshire is known for our masses of green space, good and
outstanding schools and excellent housing offer.

There is an exciting opportunity to join the recently established Strategic Flood Risk team at

management, particularly in a planning or an engineering context. You must have confidence in

delivery of policy, strategy and major change processes.

    whole.
  • Provide support to the community in respect of flood and water related matters, responding
    to councillor and customer queries on such matters.

    flooding events.
  • Provide technical advice in respect of other council work as far as drainage and flooding
    is concerned.
  • Apply for related grants in support of work to prevent and reduce flooding and sustainable
    urban drainage.
  • Work closely with key stakeholders including other departments within the council, our
    neighbouring councils, water companies and the Environment Agency to investigate flooding and
    take enforcement action.
  • Work with key stakeholders to create a safer place for the residents and visitors to North
    Lincolnshire, whilst achieving the authority aspiration of achieving Carbon Net Zero by 2030.

Joining our progressive and welcoming team will bring a range of benefits, including:

  • A competitive salary
  • A comprehensive induction
  • Generous annual leave entitlement
  • Salary sacrifice scheme
  • Excellent CPD opportunities
  • Local Government Pension scheme.
  • Agile working arrangements (we will consider requests for permanent homeworking from
    applicants who reside in other parts of the country).
