Number of jobs available- 3
- Region- South West
- City/Town- Exeter
- Building/Site- Manley House
- Grade- Staff Grade 4
- Post Type- Permanent
- Working Pattern- Full Time
- Role Type- Operational Delivery
- Salary Minimum- £29,706
- Job description- We’re proud to promote a safe, inclusive, flexible and supportive culture at the Environment Agency, as a life-enhancing 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.

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.
Planning surveys, populating databases, data interpretation, compelling reporting and effective communication are part of the core work.
Expected behaviours include teamwork, initiative, organisation, adaptability to changing priorities
Training is provided as achieving accreditation in freshwater macroinvertebrate identification, plant identification and river habitat surveys is essential. Experience in telemetry, data visualisation and statistical expertise using R would be an advantage.
- Contact and additional information- We are an area-wide team covering Devon and Cornwall but the postholder will be based in Exeter (EX2 7LQ). 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 in March and will also include an assessment exercise.
