The Team is responsible for delivering Natural England’s part of the Natural Capital and
Ecosystem Assessment (NCEA).
The NCEA is a transformative programme to understand the extent, condition and change over time
of environmental assets across England’s land and water
environments, supporting the government’s ambition to improve the environment within a
generation. Data will come from Earth Observation, professional field data collection, citizen
science and partner data sets.
Natural England’s Terrestrial NCEA delivery is organised into projects:
This role sits within Project NE3 – Field Data Collection. The England Ecosystem Survey work
package will use professional survey as a tool to provide high quality data to assess the state
and condition of biodiversity, ecosystems, and natural capital assets within England’s habitats
and landscapes addressing data gaps, including soils.
We are looking for ecologists with experience in field survey and its planning and project
management, including management and development of mobile field technology. These surveyor
roles will be our people on the ground: taking on the England Ecosystem Survey, NCEA soil
surveys, England Peat Map surveys and ground truthing our Earth Observation data.
Job Description
Key responsibilities of a Lead Adviser Field Surveyor in Evidence
Services:
The role will be predominantly field based and involve organising and carrying out a range of
ecological surveys across England. Survey scope is likely to include botanical surveying on a
range of habitats (heathlands, grasslands, ponds, coastal, ditches, hedgerows, urban etc) and
will include data collection associated with assessing landscape features and soils, some of
which will extend into the winter months. Equipment will include a mixture of traditional and
Geographical Information System based recording/collection tools to enable georeferenced data
collection and spatial mapping.
Due to the nature of these roles, following interview panel assessment suitable candidates will
need to undertake a brief, online field identification test. Suitable candidates will be
contacted separately regarding this assessment.
These roles will suit individuals with proven field ecology experience with the successful
applicants able to undertake botanical field surveys of UK habitats. (FISC4 or above
-desirable) Whilst all these roles are for field surveyors, there are elements of the role
which will require office working throughout the year between surveys. We are seeking
ecologists with more than just field skills – applicants must also be able to analyse and
interpret data (preferably experienced in ArcGIS), work successfully with partners and train,
support and advise colleagues.
The work will require staff to co-ordinate with other Natural England teams, work with our
partners, liaise with landowners, carryout field surveys, capture and manage a variety of
habitat and landscape data.
A full UK driving licence is required. These roles will require regular travel (using public
transport where possible) throughout England and overnight stays are required. Surveyors
typically spend 50% of their time out in the field. We aim to follow the principal of a week in
the field and a week in the office but there is an element of flexibility expected depending on
specific demand.
