A little more about your role…
We are seeking to grow our world-class team to ensure we continue to deliver the high calibre of service and technical excellence both we and our clients expect. With a strong pipeline of confirmed work moving into 2025, we have opportunities for a Hydrometric Field Technician to join our team. This role is specifically to support our Ground and Water Hydrometric monitoring team in East Anglia.
This position offers excellent career development potential including training and mentoring. A competitive salary and benefits package will be provided.
The successful candidate will play a key role in the day-to-day delivery of environmental projects, working closely with and being supported by other team members, project managers, and directors.
The position will involve working as part of a small team collecting hydrometric field data. Working on various projects, data will be collected on groundwater levels, surface water levels, water quality, and stream flows. Data is collected using manual techniques, data loggers, and flow gauging kits.
The role will be primarily field-based and will involve working outdoors in all weather conditions at sites across Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire, with occasional work in other parts of the UK and internationally if required. The type of sites at which the work will be undertaken are typically nature reserves, wetland habitats, and ecologically sensitive environments.
A typical week could include:
* Carrying out hydrometric monitoring fieldwork activities, either as a lone worker or as part of a two-person team – typically involving measuring groundwater levels, surface water levels, and flow in small rivers/streams;
* Communicating and liaising effectively with other team members and landowners;
* Managing health and safety aspects when on site;
* Undertaking detailed fieldwork planning;
* Preparing and submitting data reports.
