Flood Risk Asset Performance Team Member

This is an excellent opportunity to join a forward‑thinking team at the heart of flood risk asset management in South Wales. You will play an essential role in shaping long‑term plans that determine where new flood defence assets are needed and how existing critical infrastructure, including coastal and tidal defences, embankments, sluices, and pumping stations is maintained, improved, and protected for the future.

In this varied and meaningful role, you will gather, interpret, and analyse asset and flood risk data to produce briefing notes, business cases, reports, and contracts. Your work will directly inform key decisions and support projects that reduce the risk of flooding and help safeguard communities across the region.

We are looking for technically skilled individuals with experience gained across different roles or organisations, and a solid understanding of both the practical demands of flood risk management and the wider organisational context in which we operate.

While primarily office‑based, the role also includes on‑site work and travel between NRW offices and partner locations, with some at-home working. You’ll need to be adaptable, practical, and comfortable working in both desk‑based and field environments.

This is an ideal role for someone with a strong technical background and a genuine passion for using their expertise to protect the environment and improve the resilience of communities across South Wales.

As an organisation we support flexible working. You will be contracted to the NRW office at the above location and a suitable hybrid working pattern will be agreed on appointment. Any regular face to face meetings or training will be planned in advance.

To make an informal enquiry about this role, please contact Gareth Richards at gareth.richards@cyfoethnaturiolcymru.gov.uk 

Interviews will be face to face in Crosshands office 8th & 9th April 2026. 

Successful applicants will be subject to a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service Check (DBS) check. Appointments are normally made within 4 to 8 weeks of the closing date.
