We are seeking a Coastal Erosion and Flooding Manager to lead on the Borough's response to our rapidly changing, dynamic coastline.
Are you passionate about supporting protecting our coastline and communities to adapt to the continued impacts of coastal erosion and flooding? We are seeking a Coastal Manager to lead our efforts in safeguarding our dynamic and vulnerable environment.
Situated on one of Europe’s most rapidly eroding coastlines, this role is at the forefront of addressing the pressing challenges of coastal erosion and flooding. This role offers the opportunity to manage and oversee the Borough’s response to these risks, collaborating with key agencies, engaging with communities, and planning for the future of our coastal and flood management.
Great Yarmouth is located on one of the most dynamic and rapidly eroding coastlines in Northern Europe. Located on the banks of the River Yare and its tributaries also means that the Borough is susceptible to fluvial and tidal flood events. Future environmental changes mean that we need to have plans in place to respond and support our communities in an ever-evolving environment.
The purpose of this role is to provide management and oversight of the Boroughs response to flooding and coastal erosion, working with key agencies and partners to develop and implement response plans, engagement with our communities and longer-term planning for coastal and flood defences, adaptation and roll back.
We are seeking an individual experienced in coastal matters including coastal adaptation planning, the creation of Shoreline Management Plans and working with communities to develop plans for the future. This is an exciting role that will place you at the forefront of how we respond to the future of coastal erosion and climate change in the Borough.
