Overview

As an Intelligence Technical Officer in the Environment Agency’s National Environmental Crime Unit, you will build confidence and capability across area teams in intelligence‑led ways of working and the use of intelligence systems to understand Threat, Risk and Harm and improve approaches to tackling environmental offending and protect officer safety.

This is a new role within the Intelligence and Partnerships team. You will support area teams by providing Memex training, promoting the use and benefits of Memex, and improving the quality of intelligence submitted. You will provide face‑to‑face training on MEMEX, support and train area teams to submit intelligence and conduct searches, supervise intelligence logs to ensure high quality submissions, create entities from Memex submissions, provide regular reports on performance, and ensure high standards of intelligence submissions. You will undertake other duties commensurate with the role.

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