About The Role

Are you a recent graduate with kick sampling experience or an early-career aquatic ecologist keen to expand your field survey skills? Do you enjoy working outdoors, travelling across the UK, and balancing practical survey work with office-based data handling? Are you looking for a role that offers both responsibility and development in freshwater ecology?

We’re looking for a Hydroecology Consultant (Survey-Focused) to join our growing Water Science team based near Stockport. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with macroinvertebrate and freshwater surveying experience, whether gained at university or through early career roles.

In this role, you’ll help plan and deliver freshwater ecology surveys (particularly macroinvertebrate kick sampling alongside diatom and macrophyte surveys), as well as process, analyse, and report on the data collected. During the spring and summer survey seasons, you could be spending up to 80% of your time in the field, while at other times, you'll support office-based work including survey preparation and data review. Learning key skills that will become a baseline for a career in environmental consultancy.

The role will involve extensive travel across England and occasionally further afield, with some overnight stays required. Flexibility and a willingness to be away from home during busy periods is essential.
