Collaborate with local authorities, the Environment Agency (EA) teams, and other partners to coordinate inspections, share findings, and align goals.
Support Project & Contract Delivery
Contribute to the management of annual asset inspection contracts, supporting timely and high-quality project delivery. Assist with budget tracking and liaise with external partners under the guidance of senior colleagues.
Conduct Field Surveys & Inspections
Perform topographic beach surveys using RTK GNSS and laser scanning equipment, and carry out T98 inspections (full training provided).
What you can expect
Salary & Benefits
Salary range: £30,195 - £38,245
24-27 days annual leave, plus bank holidays
Local government pension scheme

Professional Development
Full training in coastal surveying (GNSS, laser scanning) and T98 inspections
Opportunities to learn and refine coding, GIS, and data management skills.
Impactful Work
Contribute directly to tools and strategies that inform England’s coastal defence efforts.
Your qualities and experience
Qualifications & Experience
Bachelor’s (essential) or Master’s (desirable) in Civil Engineering, Oceanography, Environmental Science, Geography, or a related field.
Suited to a strong recent graduate or early-career professional (Substantial experience) who is confident handling data, keen to work collaboratively, and eager to develop project and contract delivery experience.
Technical Skills
Familiarity with, or enthusiasm to learn, PostgreSQL, QGIS, MATLAB, and Python for data manipulation and database management.
Any exposure to SQL database development is a plus.
Soft skills
Clear and confident communicator, both written and verbal, able to work with a range of technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Organised and detail-focused, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities effectively.
Comfortable working outdoors in variable weather conditions and occasionally at early hours, depending on tidal schedules.
About the Channel Coastal Observatory
Based at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton, the Channel Coastal Observatory is managed by New Forest District Council (NFDC). We collect and disseminate comprehensive data on coastal change drivers – such as waves, tides, and weather – and map how our coastlines respond using topographic, hydrographic, LiDAR, and aerial photography data. This information is freely accessible at www.coastalmonitoring.org, supporting the Environment Agency’s Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management (FCERM) Policy and helping safeguard our coastlines for future generations.
If you are ready to dive into a hands-on coastal science role that blends data management, fieldwork, and collaboration with key partners, apply now and help us shape the future of UK coastal monitoring.
At NFDC we believe that all our employees make a valuable contribution to the work of the Council and that's why we encourage a trusting and open culture where each employee is supported and respected equally, where ideas are actively sought and self-development promoted.
