Water Management Alliance – King’s Lynn, Norfolk

 The Water Management Alliance (WMA) is dedicated to maintaining and improving water level management across lowland environments. We provide flood and drought response services, surface water drainage, and water level management to safeguard communities, businesses, and the environment and reduce flood risk to people, property, infrastructure, and the natural environment. Through close collaboration with partners and stakeholders, we support sustainable land use, protect natural habitats, and ensure efficient water management across coastal zones and watershed catchment areas.

 As our new Chief Executive, you will lead our operations delivery team and guide the strategic direction of our organisation and people working closely with a wide range of stakeholders, Management Authorities and regulatory bodies. The role is rich and varied from supporting emergency response efforts during flooding and drought conditions, collaborating with stakeholders, including landowners, environmental groups, and local authorities to advising on drainage and flood defence infrastructure and compliance with environmental and regulatory standards. We’re looking to raise the bar for the implementation of sustainable water management practices, and you will be passionate and ambitious about water management, engineering, and/or environmental science with a knowledge of flood risk management and drainage systems. Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with a wide range of senior stakeholders will be key.

 If you are passionate about water management and want to contribute to protecting our communities from flooding and drought, we would love to hear from you. Join us in making a difference in sustainable water management!
