Job Description
We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic person to work in our team of Geomatics Analysts. You will be working as part of a small team processing survey data to support the delivery of our National Elevation Data Programmes, and you will be using specialist software and GIS to process and quality control data from our state‑of‑the‑art Remote Sensing survey instrumentation including our Airborne LIDAR Terrain Mapper.
Equal Opportunity
We recognise the challenges that people with (multiple) characteristics may experience on the job market. We are fully committed to being an inclusive employer and ensuring equal opportunities. We are keen to make our workforce as diverse as possible.
New starters to the Environment Agency are required to have an incident response role in addition to their day job. The type of roles available and the working patterns required for them are wide‑ranging and can be chosen by the individual. We encourage our team members to choose a role that will develop their skills and widen their experience. Day‑job support is provided to all staff so that incident response duties can be undertaken as and when their particular role requires.
The Team
The Geomatics team, within National Monitoring Survey, provides a range of specialist services, enabling evidence to be used across the business. This includes collection and analysis of the highest quality LiDAR, aerial photography, bathymetry and satellite data. The team works with National & Area teams to co‑deliver all the monitoring requirements of the Environment Agency and the wider environmental community.

* You will be able to demonstrate practical experience and broad ranging GIS skills using ESRI products such as ArcGIS Pro or ArcMap and demonstrate experience working with large and complex mapping datasets, preferably Airborne LiDAR.
* Experience of processing and carrying out quality control procedures on LiDAR datasets and LiDAR‑derived Digital Elevation Models would be advantageous.
* You will have experience in Remote Sensing techniques, analytical and problem‑solving skills, and good attention to detail, either through work or your academic experiences.
* You will have good organisational skills, be highly motivated with a professional attitude, and be able to communicate effectively and work unsupervised at times to meet challenging deadlines.
