The team focuses on the support and delivery of technical digital solutions to address business problems and to support major digital transformation. We want someone to understand how digital tools can help our regulatory work and how we can build, support and develop solutions to help our staff in their front‑line work.

We are looking for a flexible individual who manages themselves and is able to lead on technical development areas and solutions. The team focuses on regulatory services and technical solutions, supporting the work of the Environment Agency.
