Role description:

As a Senior Ecologist, you would be joining our team of over 50 ecologists with more than 30 years of experience undertaking ecological surveys and assessments, as well as the provision of advice on soil, land use, hydrological and sustainable drainage issues, arboriculture, ecosystem service, natural capital assessment, biodiversity strategies and metrics and cultural heritage.

You will be responsible for leading and managing the delivery of small projects to meet time, budgetary and Safety, Health, Environment and Quality (SHEQ) targets, managing the ecological aspects of the client relationship so that delivery exceeds client expectations. You will take a leadership role on small to medium sized projects, providing both direction and technical advice and leading by example.

We will ensure that we offer personal development which will allow you to progress your career and offer you the opportunity to be mentored by industry-recognised Technical Leaders in their field, who will lend you their experience and ensure that the training you receive will give you the best possible chance of success.

Qualifications & Experience:

  • In-depth knowledge of particular plant or animal groups and appropriate field survey skills
  • Experienced in categorizing and assessing habitats from the plant communities present
  • Excellent reporting skills, with a proven track record in writing Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEAs), writing or assisting on Biodiversity Net Gain assessments, Ecological Impact Assessments (EcIAs) and Ecology Chapters for Environmental Statements
  • Basic experience in writing or assisting with project and/or plan-level Habitats Regulations Assessments (HRA)
  • Have experience of bid production and client interaction
  • Ability to lead surveys and manage small survey teams
