Environmental Data Analyst

The Environmental Data Analyst will manage, interpret, and present the Trust’s data
effectively. This role will increase the Trust’s ability to prioritise activities and projects,
evaluate change, and report the impact and outcomes of our work. Through this role you’ll be
handling, analysing, and presenting data on land use, habitats, species, opportunities, and risks
to support a successful environmental improvement programme.

You will be collating, managing, analysing, and presenting environmental/spatial data to support
the Calder Rivers Trust team. This will involve using ArcGIS pro and other database management
tools to ensure consistent information management, and the creation and maintenance of a data
catalogue.

A core function of your role will be managing the range of data used by the team, and supporting
compliance with licensing, e.g. environmental and spatial data ranging from national data (OGL) to
sensitive local data on habitat and species, and data collected by the Calder Rivers Trust team.
You will be working with this data to help the Trust’s team make effective decisions, and evaluate
environmental change.

You will be using Geographical Information Systems and other approaches to interrogate
environmental data, finding unseen pressures and opportunities, highlighting overlapping
priorities, and supporting decision-making.

You will be supporting development of our data collection campaigns, bringing understanding of data
standards and statistical approaches—informed by novel and good practice examples from across the
environmental sector.

You will be enabling Calder Rivers Trust to communicate about activities through producing clear
and informative visual data representations, e.g. maps, interactive StoryMaps, and other graphics.

You will also be supporting conversations with Calder Rivers Trust’s partners to enable effective
data sharing, interpretation, and presentation while maintaining compliance with data licensing.

You’ll help us continue to develop a brave, confident, capable, and well-respected
organisation—that people want to work with and for. You will have your finger on the pulse of the
relevant things happening within the catchment, the Rivers Trust movement, and generally across the
sector.
