The role

Are you passionate about marine ecosystems and making a real impact through data? We’re looking for a proactive and detail-driven individual to support our Marine Monitoring, Assessment and Reporting Team.

In this role, you’ll play a key part in managing and assuring the quality of our marine data—from biological recording and data validation to working across systems that support NRW’s vital marine evidence work. You'll collaborate closely with other marine teams, including our Marine and Freshwater Coastal Ecosystems Group, helping to deliver accurate, reliable data that underpins environmental decision-making across Wales.

You’ll be part of a large, friendly, and highly supportive team of 18 experts who monitor and report on everything from subtidal reefs to intertidal zones. Based within the Marine Operations Directorate, our team covers the full Welsh coastline—so your work will directly support the protection and restoration of our unique marine environments.

If you’re organised, enthusiastic about marine science, and ready to work in a team that values collaboration and impact, we’d love to hear from you.

As an organisation we support flexible working. You will be contracted to the nearest NRW office to your home and a suitable hybrid working pattern will be agreed on appointment. Any regular face to face meetings or training will be planned in advance.

Interviews will take place through Microsoft Teams.

Successful applicants will be subject to a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service Check (DBS) check. Appointments are normally made within 4 to 8 weeks of the closing date.
