Helm Crisis Management Group Environment (CMG Env) Secretariat role to lead MSE Family in the CM for ALL environmental, water and food-related peacetime crises.
Conduct horizon scanning and threat assessments to identify and analyse risks that could arise in the environment, water and food domains, and help develop and implement mitigating strategies and plans.
Contribute to the strengthening of established workstreams and processes, including use of technology, to enhance operational efficiency.
Develop new concept of operations and mission requirements to ensure operational relevancy to evolving threats.
Assist in the development, conduct and participation of peacetime training and exercises to ensure operational readiness and resiliency of both the staff and system.
Raise, train and sustain new capabilities for MSE Family to combat potential/future threats to environment, water and food.
Advocate the purposefulness and importance of crisis and emergency preparedness in the domain of environment, food and water through constant stakeholders’ engagement and partnership, and regular media campaigns and public/community outreach programmes (i.e. Total Defence and National Day Parade).
What we are looking for:
We are looking for someone who has/ is:
At least 5 years of relevant working experience with high energy and is a motivated team player.
Clear thought process, analytical, organised and comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy.
Aware of external environment impacting on the organisation context and able to appreciate interconnections across different levels of the system.
Prior experience in risk research and analysis will be an advantage.
Excellent speaking and writing skills.
Excellent interpersonal and stakeholder engagement abilities.
Ability to function under pressure of time and resource constraints in a dynamic situation.
