Wallington, United Kingdom Hydropower & Dams Full time

**Sub-Editor/Web Manager**

**Aqua-Media International**

If you:

- can’t stand misplaced apostrophes, split infinitives or dangling participles, and are not afraid to tackle technical material and convert it to plain English
- enjoy communicating with authors and contributors worldwide
- feel a commitment to clean renewable energy for the future
- would be happy to keep our website up to date and attractive

then this job could be ideal for you.

Aqua-Media publishes a bi-monthly journal on hydroelectric power and water resources development, as well as an annual Atlas with country reports and an industry guide, and also organizes international conferences in various parts of the world twice a year.

No technical knowledge is required (as subbed material is also checked by others), but rather the ability to untangle badly written English from international contributors.

Specific duties will be:

- Sub-editing news and feature articles, proof reading, liaising with authors.
- Helping to prepare short country reports (sent by professionals in our industry) for the annual book.
- Posting news and tender announcements on line, and keeping the site updated with news of our company’s activities and other items.
- Helping to prepare material for our conferences, and coming along to help at the international events twice a year (Africa, Asia and Europe).
- Liaising with freelance news contributors.

Aqua-Media is based in Wallington, Surrey, and is currently operating a hybrid working arrangement (3 days in the office and 2 days working from home).

There is a company BUPA scheme, and five weeks annual leave. Salary will be based on experience and qualifications, and bonuses are paid for working abroad at international events.
