Technical Support, Flood Risk Asset Management

Job Description

This is an exciting opportunity to start or grow your career in flood risk and asset management, while making a real difference to communities across Wales in the face of climate change. As part of the National Operations Flood Risk Services Team, you will support data improvement programmes that help us sustainably manage NRW‑managed flood risk assets. Your work will contribute directly to reduce the risk to people and communities from flooding and coastal erosion.

You will work as part of a supportive national team, alongside experienced Flood Risk Management (FRM) asset specialists and operational colleagues across Wales. With guidance and mentoring, you'll help ensure our asset data is accurate, reliable and fit for purpose, developing your technical skills while gaining valuable insight into how flood risk management is delivered in practice.

Your responsibilities will include helping to organise and deliver work packages within the national asset management programme, carrying out tasks using the AMX Flood database, and maintaining and updating GIS datasets. You will also support operational teams by analysis to inform site inspections, asset condition assessments and programme delivery. As your experience grows, you'll contribute to technical advice, programme monitoring and reporting, while learning how we meet statutory and regulatory requirements.

This is a data and evidence driven role that blends technical learning with real‑world impact. It is ideal for someone early in their career who enjoys working with data, is keen to build their skills in asset management and GIS, and wants to develop within a multi disciplined organisation that values learning and professional growth.

We are committed to flexible working and supporting your development. You will be part of a dispersed team based across Wales and contracted to the nearest NRW office to your home. A suitable hybrid working pattern will be agreed on appointment, with face to face team/departmental meetings planned in advance (approximately 3 to 4 times a year). Training, support and opportunities to build your experience will be provided as you settle into the role.
