Environmental data analyst

Environmental data analysts process and interpret environmental data to support monitoring, research, and decisions. The work involves managing data from sensors and field collection, running analyses, building reports and visualisations, and interpreting anomalies and trends in air, water, soil, or ecological data.

They work for agencies, consultancies, and research organisations. The role suits analytical, detail-oriented people who can handle large environmental datasets, design and maintain monitoring and analysis pipelines, and turn raw environmental data into the insights that inform regulation, research, and management.
