The Guernsey Biological Records Centre and the Nature Commission are looking for a Data Analyst to join their team.
The crucial role involves managing, analysing, and disseminating biological and ecological data for Guernsey and Herm.
The successful candidate will play a vital role in helping to inform future environmental decision-making by the States, local businesses, and the wider community.
In their own words Guernsey’s Nature Commission “recognises that our natural environment is declining in biodiversity and, hence, health” and it is “working hard to reverse this trend by protecting and enhancing Guernsey’s natural environment for the health of our economy and the wellbeing of our island community”.
It makes sense then that the perfect candidate would suit working “within a passionate team dedicated to environmental protection” and would enjoy “contributing to meaningful environmental work”.
The Nature Commission said the person they’re looking to recruit will have the following Key Qualifications:
• A bachelor’s degree in computer science, maths, information management, statistics or
comparable discipline, or alternative qualification/ certification in relation to data science
• Proficiency in statistics and data analysis tools such as R and Excel
• Experience with systems such as Arc GIS or other Geographical Information Systems
• Adept at simplifying complex data insights for audiences without a technical background
• A methodical and logical approach to work, with excellent attention to detail
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
Applications for the job opening close on Sunday 2 March, and you can find out more on the Nature Commission’s website HERE.
