Environment Agency Hiring for Programme Support Officer – Software and IT Job at Penrith, England Full Time

The role sits within flood risk management. No experience in flood risk is required as you will develop in this area as you develop in the role. You will bring your IT and software technical expertise to support delivery of our programmes of work.

Our programmes are complex and held across a number of systems. We need someone capable of bringing multiple sources of data together in one location using advanced Microsoft Excel skills and presenting information effectively to support engagement with a range of audiences including senior managers.

As the Environment Agency migrates to working in an Office 365 environment, you will need to support members of your team, and other teams, in migrating our datasets and ways of working into this new environment.

If you have these technical skills and would like to utilise them in supporting our flood risk management teams then we would like to hear from you.

The role will be based at Lutra House, Preston or Ghyll Mount, Penrith.

There is a phased return to EA offices. Initially there will be a hybrid arrangement between office and home working.

(Please contact Nikki 21st July – 5th August; Adam 15th – 19th August).

If invited to interview, part of the assessment will require you to prepare a short presentation based on a dashboard you will create using data contained in spreadsheets. The data and questions will be sent to you one week in advance of the interview. You will be able to prepare this in your own time, forwarding the presentation at least one hour prior to the interview. This will be a relatively straight forward assessment if you have the appropriate MS Excel skills.
