The team

The Environment Agency has a responsibility to manage some of the busiest recreational waterways in the country. Our River Thames operations include 45 lock and weir complexes. Your team will consist of Lock and Weir Keepers and Technical staff reporting directly to you.

Experience/skills Required

Contact and additional information

You will need work at various locations so a UK driver licence is needed. We support hybrid working (office, site and home) but the job requires some presence onsite. There are 3 vacancies (Surrey, Reading and Oxford). Please state your preference and be mindful of realistic regular travel to base locations of Shepperton, Reading or Wallingford when stating preference. Out of hours work is occasionally required to manage incidents. As the work takes beside the river or out on boats, you should be a confident swimmer. Full Training will be given to achieve the mandatory requirements of the post alongside ongoing development.

Other allowances include:

Incident payments (when on standby)

Outer London weighting (if base location within the boundary)
