Job Description

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is the principal adviser to Welsh Government on issues relating to the environment and its natural resources. We aim to underpin our advice and actions with robust evidence. In addition to making use of evidence generated by others, NRW itself gathers evidence, notably through the environmental monitoring we carry out.

This is a great opportunity to help NRW continue to move forward in how it manages and assures the quality of its ecological monitoring data and makes it available for onward use in finding solutions to the challenges of managing the water environment.

You will be able to demonstrate knowledge and experience of the following:

Relevant degree or equivalent experience. Membership of a relevant professional body is desirable.

Significant experience of using the WISKI KiEco system and of management of water ecology data.

Awareness and ability to evaluate IT and data requirements of business processes that produce and use data.

Ability to build strong internal and external relationships with a range of partners/stakeholders to influence and gain co-operation of others.

Be resilient and able to cope with high pressure situations.
