We have an exciting new vacancy for a Graduate Conservation Adviser to join our Conservation team. If you are looking for a role that focuses on our local environment and you love engaging with equally passionate people, then we want to hear from you!

We own and lease nearly 3,000 hectares of land. Our sites and landholdings range from small pumping stations to large treatment works, reservoirs and farmland. Wessex Water and our tenants occupy more than 290 hectares of SSSI and over 900 hectares designated as either a Local Wildlife Site or a Local Geological Site. Our Conservation team ensure that this land is well-managed for nature.

You will be encouraged to have a voice, be free-thinking and empowered to work in a high-performing team. You will have a genuine opportunity to make an impact, and we will actively invest in your professional development.

Although based in Bath, this role will require you to travel throughout the Wessex Water region regularly. We offer hybrid working, allowing you to work from home some of the time, if preferred, as well as in our office.

What you'll do

As our Graduate Conservation Adviser, you will be involved in all aspects of delivering conservation land management as well as providing advice to the wider business to support the delivery of our biodiversity land management commitments. You will liaise with teams across Wessex Water and with external stakeholders, including volunteers and community groups.

Day to day, you will support the Conservation team to progress project work, which may include desktop assessment, procuring and overseeing services from contractors and consultants, general project management and reporting to our regulators. You will also assist with surveys, prescribing and overseeing management and implementing monitoring to conserve and enhance habitats and species of biodiversity importance, or areas of geological or heritage importance, on our sites.
