Our work is everywhere. It’s our job to protect and improve our air, water and land. With 13,000 employees and a budget of more than £1 billion, we’re working to create a better place for people and wildlife… for present and future generations.
We’ve made astonishing progress, cleaning up rivers, reducing pollution, decontaminating old industrial land, controlling waste and cracking down on environmental crime. We work with government to shape policy. We’ve pioneered new approaches to regulating and advising business. And since 2000 we’ve reduced flood risk to more than 150,000 homes and businesses. But the devastation of recent floods has highlighted the long-term problems presented by climate change and the pressure for development.
The future challenges are many and varied, involving environmental, social, economic and political concerns. We’ve established the cornerstones for success; as an engineer looking for a new challenge, you can find your own success with us – and help protect the lives of millions.
