  • Are you looking for a new challenge? Are you passionate about protecting groundwater and want to do a job that inspires you and the people around you? If yes, then we have an exciting opportunity
We need your help to develop new national groundwater monitoring networks: groundwater ecology, temperature, wetlands, quantity, and quality.

In this role you will take a deep dive into the complexities of groundwater 3D conceptualisation and deliver effective monitoring programmes.

  • within Environment Agency and external partners to implement the NCEA groundwater networks;
- to identify suitable new groundwater monitoring sites, combining desk-based assessment and site visit;
- to initiate and project manage the installation of groundwater sampling equipment, which may use consultancy, in-house expertise, or delivery through others;
- to deliver high quality, fit for purpose data and information to the public using our open data principles;
You'll have a range of development opportunities and appropriate training will be provided.

You'll have an inclusive incident management objective in your development plan, so we'll support you to find an incident role to suit your needs and circumstances.


  • The team 1
  • The post is part of the Groundwater and Contaminated Land team in the Cumbria and Lancashire Area. We are responsible for providing technical and scientific expertise to our field and flood forecasting teams, and to a wide range of external stakeholders, all to protect the quality and quantity of groundwater.

We are based in one of the Area offices listed above, with some home working, visits to other offices and occasional site work.


  • Experience/skills required 1
  • You'll need the technical skills to:
  • be an experienced groundwater monitoring specialist
- have practical experience in groundwater monitoring and fieldwork
- be able to conceptualise groundwater environments in three-dimensions.

You'll also demonstrate your:
- ability to work effectively with people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures and actively encourage others to consider diversity issues in their work
- excellent project/programme management skills
- analytical and data skills
- influencing and communication skills
- interpersonal and team-working skills
- proactive, self-motivated attitude that delivers quality outcomes
- ability to combine your people skills, and curiosity to collaboratively solve problems and identify innovative solutions
- effective engagement and motivation skills to collaboratively resolve conflicts
- ability to work to tight deadlines, prioritise your own work, manage projects and deliver effective outcomes

Ideally, you'll be Chartered with an appropriate professional body, though this is not essential.
