- The ability to demonstrate and inspire confidence in leading work, providing advice, making decisions, culminating in the delivery of results

**Mō te tangata | About you**

Although there is a lot of physically demanding fieldwork, all our data needs to be processed and quality checked in the office, so being IT literate is a must along with an aptitude for the environment and science. You will need to process and analyse data in the office to support SOE monitoring. Report writing skills would also be valuable in this role, as you will assist in writing technical reports.

Health and safety is at the forefront of everything we do at WRC, whether working on your own, or as part of a team. You will utilise your field knowledge to collect data safely and offer suggestions to improve the safety and efficiency of our sites.

You will be competent in fish identification, electric fishing and other fish capture methods.
