Key Notes
Physical climate risk, adaptation planning and spatial data analysis shape this environmental specialist post. Work includes tracking TfL’s Climate Adaptation Plan, examining cascading impacts and supporting flood-defence assessment and external reporting. The permanent role pays up to £45,400 at Palestra, with a 50% office/home split over four weeks. Applicants need a related degree or equivalent qualification.
What You'll Work On
- Track Climate Adaptation Plan actions and organisational targets, providing advice and helping business teams develop their climate-risk and adaptation capability.

- Analyse environmental and incident data, including GIS mapping and spatial analysis, to improve the evidence available for adaptation decisions.
- Contribute to external adaptation and sustainability reporting and the implementation of climate measures, keeping the evidence base aligned with current research.
Why This Role Matters
- TfL’s adaptation decisions can reflect the location and interdependence of climate risks when spatial analysis and physical risk assessments expose vulnerable assets and operations.
- TfL’s Climate Adaptation Plan can be assessed against its actions and organisational targets through progress tracking, showing where implementation needs further advice or support.
