The Environment Agency are fully committed to having an inclusive workforce to reflect the communities we serve. We don't just talk about diversity; we seek it, embrace it, and live it, for the benefit of our staff, our communities, and our environment. We are looking to recruit an experienced, knowledgeable and enthusiastic marine and freshwater environmental scientist. In this role, you will: - Provide technical leadership across the Analysis & Reporting team. - Represent the team in technical discussions, internally, externally, and nationally. - Oversee and ensure effective delivery of high-profile work areas, particularly our bathing water investigations. - Experienced and comfortable analysing, interpreting and reporting multifunctional datasets. - Be able to design fit-for-purpose monitoring programmes, utilising a variety of monitoring techniques. - Be comfortable in public facing forums and able to translate complex data for different audiences. As a senior member of the team, you will be expected, along with the two other Senior Environmental Monitoring Officers, to coach, mentor and develop less experienced staff, to improve resilience across work areas, and ensure any reports produced by the teams are of appropriate quality for their target audience. The post holder can be based in either Blandford (DT11 8ST) or Bridgwater (TA6 4YS) office, but there will be a requirement to attend pollution incidents and deliver field work across the area, as a result the post holder must have a full driving licence. There is some flexible home working included; however, it is expected that you will be in the office a minimum of 3 days/week.
