Being part of a small team responsible for ensuring high quality information is communicated to all our customers both in advance of works, during and after using the most appropriate mediums. There will be the need to work closely with a range of service providers and stakeholders which will involve considerable coordination. The works programmes are very extensive (running to several hundred schemes / functions per Annum) and often change at short notice, directly impacting on our customers.

The post holder will assist with work in a customer focused technical area in order that statutory and policy compliance is maintained.

There will be minimal day-to-day supervision, but clear guidance is available. The roles will plan for the weeks ahead and prioritise to accommodate non standard work. They often require understanding of complex procedures and support systems, and the ability to allocate workload and react to changing priorities. Although most work will follow established patterns, initiative is needed to handle processes and resolve problems and queries based on experience and judgement, mainly without reference to others. These roles may work alone instead of as part of a team, or the system or process used may require specialist knowledge or experience.
