Soil Carbon Monitoring, Reporting and Verification
Cwiri Ltd is developing innovative approaches to environmental monitoring to support robust carbon accounting in woodland and peatland systems.
We are seeking a Soil Carbon Scientist to contribute to the development of practical, defensible methods for monitoring soil carbon and environmental change in afforested sites (particularly in organo-mineral soils), aligned with frameworks such as the Woodland Carbon Code and Peatland Code.
This role sits at the intersection of environmental science, data analysis, and real-world project delivery. The successful candidate will work closely with Cwiri's team, project developers, and scientific collaborators to ensure that monitoring approaches are not only scientifically robust, but also usable, scalable, and appropriate for operational use.
This is a highly applied role, focused on translating scientific understanding into practical solutions for carbon monitoring in real projects.
The candidate will deliver applied research to support the development of Cwiri's carbon monitoring capability, with a focus on soil carbon dynamics and environmental processes in afforested systems.
The role involves developing approaches to understand and quantify soil carbon change, analysing complex environmental datasets, and translating scientific insights into practical, defensible monitoring approaches suitable for Woodland Carbon Code and Peatland Code-aligned projects.
The position emphasises analytical rigour, collaboration and real-world applicability.
