Organisation

S A R Markillie, Chairman, Water Management AllianceAccess to greater resources

Our coastal Boards are able to draw on the knowledge and experience of 165 Board Members who give their time freely to serve you, as custodians of our wonderful lowland environment. We collectively employ 90 people and each Member Board, through the WMA, provides a 24/7 flood and drought response, surface water drainage and water level management service, primarily for the benefit of all those living and working in our Districts.

Management Structure

Each Member Board has its own operations delivery team, which consists of directly employed staff, contractors, and collaborative working arrangements with other Risk Management Authorities. Each Member Board also has access to a land-army of farm workers and volunteers. The WMA organisation supports each Member Board by providing them with administration, technical support services, and, operations support in an emergency event. The way in which our Member Boards interface with the WMA can be viewed from each Board’s ‘Organisation’ webpage. The staff, their job roles and contact details are shown below, together with a summary table of the Annual Pay bands for all employees in our group:
