  • Job description
  • We're proud to promote a safe, inclusive, flexible and supportive culture at the Environment Agency, as a lifeenhancing place to work, creating better places for people and wildlife.

If you are an enthusiastic and passionate freshwater ecologist, a strong team player who can achieve results and adopt changing priorities quickly, join us and develop in a really fulfilling role.

The core work is aquatic ecological surveying, species identification and analysing data to assess the changing environment. We also support pollution, drought and flooding incident response.
The role is full of variety, there are many opportunities to build expertise and we provide specialist training.

  • We work together in the field; undertaking ecological field surveys of aquatic plants, macroinvertebrates, algae, fish and freshwater habitat.
  • In our laboratories we analyse samples of aquatic macroinvertebrates to mixed taxon level (including some to species) and identify algae.
  • From offices, we monitor telemetry, interpret data and write compelling reports to inform and influence partners, protecting the environment through advice, regulation and enforcement.
Responding to incidents is a central part of what we do.

You will be required to have an incident role and make yourself available to respond to incidents, or provide business continuity support during an incident.

This may attract an additional payment and full training and alternative working arrangements will be available to support you with your incident role.

Our working patterns and locations are flexible, including appropriate working from home. We develop our people, set clear objectives and commit to an inclusive, safe, fair and empowering culture.
The team- Our officers help develop and schedule our monitoring programme, conduct surveys, analyse and report on quality-controlled data. We investigate environmental issues identified and our data underpins decision-making and delivering statutory responsibilities.

Our induction, development and team-working will help you gain proficiency within the organisation and build on the strengths you bring to our team.

All staff train to support our combined Area response to a wide range of incidents including pollution, flooding, waste and drought.


  • Experience/skills required
  • An ecological technical degree or sufficient relevant freshwater ecology experience will provide a strong base for this post.

A foundation in freshwater species identification, microscopy, using dichotomous keys and familiarity with field survey methodologies for macroinvertebrates, plants, fish and habitat in freshwater would demonstrate potential for success in this role.

Conducting ecological surveys and operating telemetry, populating databases, data interpretation and reporting are core work.
Expected behaviours include self-development, initiative, organisation, adaptability to changing priorities, effective team work and supporting our response to incidents.

Training is provided to achieve accreditation in river habitat survey, freshwater macroinvertebrate and plant identification as these capabilities are essential.


  • Contact and additional information
  • We are an areawide team covering the whole of the West Midlands. The postholder can be based in either Lichfield (WS13 8RR), Shrewsbury (SY3 8BB), Tewkesbury (GL20 8JG) with some travel required between offices. There will be a requirement to attend pollution incidents and help with field work across the area.
Accessing rivers means a valid driving licence, bankside mobility and swimming capability are genuine operational requirements.

Interviews are expected to take place during the week commencing 26 June 2023.
