- Proficiency in producing, analysing and presenting a range of environmental data to develop evidence and solve technical issues
- Good IT skills, including the use of spreadsheets, databases and mapping systems
- Ability to manage your own workload and work well in a team
- A practical approach to problem-solving, articulating solutions in a simple and persuasive way
- A good knowledge of groundwater quality issues and relevant environmental legislation

Experience in undertaking hydrogeological risk assessments would be advantageous
