- Job description- We are the Environment Agency. We work to create better places for people and wildlife.
The monitoring of our environment is essential to identify changes and inform environmental improvements. An exciting opportunity has arisen to help us collect, analyse and report on data that will help us to achieve better outcomes for people and wildlife. We are looking for an enthusiastic individual with an interest and preferably experience in practical and theoretical freshwater ecology. Training in survey techniques and identification will be available, although some experience is desirable.
You will carry out a range of tasks, including:

- Taking and analysing invertebrate samples
- Assisting with plant and fish surveys in both freshwater and marine environments
- Using a range of databases to enter and extract data
- Analysing data and writing reports

You will be expected to work in the laboratory at either Blandford or Bridgwater to sort and identify invertebrate samples, this will form the majority of your workload. You will also be involved in fieldwork across Wessex.
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.
- The team- Analysis & Reporting teams provides a vital service in collecting, analysing and interpreting biological and water quality data, turning this into evidence to support the Environment Agency’s responsibilities and ambition to create a better place. Our work includes water chemistry, ecology and fisheries. We report environmental information to various internal and external customers and work closely with other area and national teams.
- Experience/skills required- We are seeking someone who is passionate about the environment and enjoys using their skills to make a difference. You’ll be qualified to at least degree level or have a minimum of two years’ experience in a relevant discipline (e.g. ecology, environmental sciences, biology). This experience can have been gained in a voluntary capacity.
You will be able to demonstrate experience of:

- Identification of macroinvertebrates/freshwater plants
- Data analysis and interpretation
- Ecological survey work (such as aquatic plant surveys, fish surveys, river habitat surveys)
- The use of Excel and Word to produce clear written work.
- The ability to work effectively on your own and within a team.
- You must have a full driving licence and be confident working in and near water.
- You will be willing to undertake specialist training when necessary.
- Contact and additional information- We are an area wide team covering Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset, and Bristol. The post holder can be based in either Blandford (DT11 8ST) or Bridgwater (TA6 4YS) office, but there will be a requirement to help with field work across the area, as a result the post holder must have a full driving licence.
