Our South England Forest District team is made up of around 160 people. Our team contains a diverse range of roles - from wildlife rangers to civil engineers, and ecologists to marketing professionals, we all contribute towards the management of some 46,000 hectares of public forest estate and national parks that stretch from Sussex to Dorset, and from Berkshire to the Isle of Wight.
Much of this forest is of high national importance for nature conservation and wildlife, and of international importance for biodiversity. South England Forest District is therefore responsible for land that includes Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), Special Protection Areas (SPAs), Ramsar sites, and Areas of Outstanding National Beauty (AONB).
The Planning and Environment Team are responsible for creating forest management plans to support the District to design resilient woodlands taking into account key issues such as climate change, and the different ways that people will want to use our forests in future.
The post holder will manage the storage and accessibility of ecological GIS data for the District and work with colleagues to improve the efficiency of the current system.They will be the main source of GIS expertise and will support teams with the development and management of spatial data.
Key work areas;
- Produce complex maps and spatial data analysis for District land management projects on request.
- Provide GIS support to other colleagues and raise their skill level where needed through informal training.
- Assist the planning team in keeping the forest sub compartment database and other spatial records up to date and accurate.
- Share local district spatial data by being the point of contact for data requests from external partners, stakeholders, students, etc. and issue data licences where required.
- Lead the GIS element of several projects by creating, maintaining, and analysing local ecological data datasets, specifically for species monitoring and tree health.
We aim to provide a great place to work, whichever location you work from. Blended working forms part of our flexible and inclusive approach to future ways of working. It is an informal arrangement which gives you the option to work some of the week from home, and some of the week from our offices within the South District, subject to role requirements, business needs, and regular review. Informal blended working arrangements will be available as agreed with the line manager. Further information will be available for candidates invited to interview.
