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 team processing survey data to support the delivery of our National Elevation Data Programmes. 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.

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.
