The Welsh Government operates name-free recruitment. The recruiting panel will not see personal information such as a candidate’s name and address during the sifting process. This policy is in line with our commitment to end bias and promote equality and diversity.

• Partnership Working: Build strong relationships with key organisations like Natural Resources Wales, The Crown Estate, and the Marine Management Organisation. You’ll guide and coordinate joint mapping efforts to ensure consistency and strategic alignment.
