The role
Are you passionate about improving data quality and driving smarter insights? We are looking for a motivated and skilled individual to join our team and contribute to a range of data improvement initiatives that enhance both the depth and accessibility of our water quality data.
In this role, you will play a key part in expanding our data capabilities by introducing new data types through reproducible and automated processes, improving existing datasets, and streamlining workflows by reducing manual handling wherever possible. You will collaborate closely with colleagues across our Swansea and Cardiff teams in a flexible hybrid working environment.

As an organisation we support flexible working. You will be contracted to an NRW office within the place base / location above and a suitable hybrid working pattern will be agreed on appointment. Any regular face to face meetings or training will be planned in advance.
