Flooding is one of this century’s biggest environmental challenges, and tackling it is a top priority service which SEPA delivers for Scotland.

Hydrology is the backbone of understanding and managing all aspects of Scotland’s water resources. Knowing and communicating what we have, and the impacts of too much or too little in the wrong place at the wrong time, is essential if we are to meet people’s diverse needs.

The right candidate will have a deep interest in people - their welfare and ensuring their development potential is maximised.
