If you’re reading this you will probably know that Floods can cause a lot of problems for people and properties. This is your chance to help prevent this.
You’ll be looking at Flood Risk Assessments and Sustainable drainage design for new developments across the south of England; detailing how best to mitigate the flood risk and prevent damage, and ensuring that the risk is not being increased downstream, or directed onsite .
Most types of developments outside the Environment Agency Flood Zone 1, or over 1ha in size, will require a Flood Risk Assessment - so there is plenty of work.
You’’ be working with data, using drainage modelling software, preparing reports, and assisting with on-site surveys.
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT…
Full training is provided, and you will be learning from good people: the Director for the team has over 25 years’ experience and the team- leader has 20+ years’ experience. So there is loads you can learn from them.
