Applicants should refer to the Environment Agency vacancy page for the full job details, including working arrangements, location requirements, and role‑specific information.

The Environment Agency are fully committed to having an inclusive workforce to reflect the communities we serve. We don’t just talk about diversity; we seek it, embrace it and live it, for the benefit of our staff, our communities and our environment.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Estates Transformation, Data & Support Team as a Data & Information Officer. If you are an excellent communicator with a flair for data management this role may be perfect for you.

Working as part of the dispersed Estates Data and Information team, you’ll provide data management and GIS support nationally to approximately 100 professional estates surveyors located across the country.

The data and information you provide to your customers will be key to their decision making so it’s important you have a good eye for detail. You’ll ensure the timely updates, maintain and reconcile all landholdings and property database/records systems to ensure that the information we hold and provide remains accurate. Experience of GIS systems is essential to provide land/property information to support the effective management of land/property assets and to facilitate the registration of such with HM Land Registry by sourcing and contributing information.

You’ll also find yourself engaging with our national customer teams, and responding to enquiries from the wider EA business, Defra and the general public.

Responding to incidents is an important part of what we do, and with this in mind you’ll have an incident role and should be ready to make yourself available to respond or provide business continuity support. This may attract an additional payment, and full training and alternative working arrangements will be available to support you.

• Proficient in using GIS systems, including ArcMap, Esri Web App and ArcGIS Online, with experience in interrogating data and preferably creating and modifying layers.
