Working within our growing Restoring Rivers & Catchments team you will be contributing to our portfolio of ambitious and bold projects, based on sound science and best practice. You will assist with developing and delivering a range of river restoration and habitat enhancement projects, from conception to development, design to delivery and monitoring. Working alongside the project officers, the role has many facets that will expose you to a wide range of activities, furthering your career in implementing environmental enhancement schemes. Projects typically include weir removals, fish passage easements (such as rock ramps, nature-like bypasses or technical fish passes) and river re-naturalisation (such as habitat enhancements, reconnecting floodplains & palaeochannels, re-meandering, and backwater creation). Other catchment management projects may include wetland creation, Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) and Natural Flood Management (NFM) measures.
