You will contribute to delivering practical, evidence-based environmental and farm systems advice, and help translate science, policy, and modelling outputs into clear actions that our farming clients can implement.

Depending on your experience, the role may include:
- Supporting delivery of projects as part of a wider team (Junior)
- Owning end-to-end delivery, including technical analysis, project coordination, and proactive client communication (Intermediate)
