2 weeks ago

Inverness, Highland, United Kingdom Affric Full time
Environmental Consultant/Senior Consultant (with Marine Mammal Ecology expertise)

Competitive salary, aligned to experience. Affric Limited is a growing, successful, and ambitious environmental consultancy based in Inverness, in the North of Scotland. Affric provide professional environmental consultancy services, from feasibility to decommissioning, across a range of sectors, many with marine elements. Affric has a small, focused team which provides a friendly supportive working environment. We work closely with our clients to offer a tailored service and to ensure successful project delivery.

Job Purpose

The main purpose of this Environmental Consultant role is to undertake a range of activities to support the delivery of energy, pipeline, and infrastructure (ports and harbours) developments. The appointed staff member will be an active member of the Affric team, providing environmental advice as part of multidisciplinary team, and will contribute to the day-to-day tasks of the consultancy as a whole. These will often include:

  1. Support in the delivery of projects from initial feasibility;
  2. Specialist input into Environmental Supporting Documents and Environmental Impact Assessment Reports (EIAR);
  3. Guiding clients through the planning and/or marine licence application process;
  4. Liaising with clients, with site visits, as required;
  5. Providing construction environmental management support;
  6. Producing high quality work within tight time and cost constraints; and
  7. Carrying out any additional activities that may be reasonably required or requested.

The role also encompasses a need to demonstrate applied scientific knowledge within the topic of marine mammal ecology. As such, there is an expectation that the prospective candidate will provide specialist input into:

  1. Marine mammal risk assessments and European protected species licence applications;
  2. Marine mammal mitigation plans and/or monitoring programmes;
  3. Survey design (on occasion, this may not be solely attributed to marine mammals and may involve other areas of marine ecology);
  4. The processing, analysis, interpretation and/or presentation of acoustic data; and
  5. Field-based work as required.

The starting position (Consultant or Senior Consultant) and salary will be commensurate with the successful candidate's previous experience. Future progression is not limited, and will be determined by performance. Relevant training opportunities to provide personal and professional development are also available. The successful candidate will be based in the Affric Office near Inverness but may be required to travel to meet a client's needs. This may include working away.
