Locogen are looking for an Ecology Consultant with Ornithology and renewable energy experience to join our growing Environment Team.


Locogen’s vision is a world powered 100% by renewables; where everyone has access to affordable, sustainable energy and clean air. We’re a multidisciplinary renewable energy company; offering our clients consultancy, design, development, build and management of renewable assets. Our work is innovative and varied including projects from community and local energy level to utility scale across Wind, Solar PV, Hydro, Battery Storage (BESS) and Hydrogen.


About our Consultant Ecologist (Ornithologist) Role:

As a Consultant Ecologist you will be using your ecology and ornithology experience to deliver the ecological elements of renewable energy projects for our clients. Our Environment Team is primarily made up of ecologists, hydrologists and environmental consultants. We provide ecological & environmental services and assessment for renewable developments. We are predominantly working on utility scale onshore wind and solar projects. This is a mostly desk-based role with a small amount of time on onsite visits.


Who would be a good fit?

  • An ecology consultant with ornithology experience.
  • Someone with experience of undertaking ornithological assessments including: Ornithological Impact Assessments, Collision Risk Modelling (CRM), Territory Analysis and Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA).
  • A consultant who has produced or contributed towards Ecological Impact Assessments (EcIA) or Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) chapters for UK developments.
  • Someone with an understanding of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations.
  • Someone with an understanding of UK-Hab survey methodology, Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and the Statutory Biodiversity Metric.
  • Someone with an understanding of the role of an Ecological or Environmental Clerk of Works (ECoW & EnvCoW).
  • A good communicator who would be comfortable talking with clients, stakeholders and contractors when needed.
  • Someone who likes to take ownership and responsibility for things.


We are not corporate, it’s a friendly environment where we all collaborate, support and learn from each other. So, if you like to have fun and enjoy your work you will fit right in here.


Here are some beneficial but not essential skills:

  • GIS skills – particularly in QGIS & CAD software.
  • Membership of the Chartered Institute for Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM) or similar.
  • Schedule 1 License, or another license, in Scotland or England.
  • A current Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card
  • Knowledge of Ornithology for Onshore Wind.
  • A working knowledge of Bat Assessment for Onshore Wind projects. particularly any experience of bat call analysis with the software Kaleidoscope from Wildlife Acoustics


Please don’t worry if you don’t have these skills or licenses already - as long as you are someone who likes to learn we can definitely teach you what you need to know.


What does the day to day look like?

Our work is varied but here are some of the things you might find yourself doing:

  • Management of ecological and ornithological projects.
  • Reviewing and analysing ornithological & ecological datasets.
  • Drafting EcIAs, ornithological reports and reports to inform HRAs.
  • Liaising with clients and a variety of stakeholders across multiple projects.
  • Manage a team of sub-contractor surveyors across the breadth of the UK.
  • Health & Safety management – drafting of Risk Assessments & Methods Statements (RAMS) and implementing safe working procedures on our sites.


What is it like to work at Locogen?

This role can be based in our Stockbridge (Edinburgh) office or can be undertaken in a remote / hybrid capacity depending on where you live - the office is dog friendly, modernly kitted out and has free parking.

We are a multidisciplinary team of friendly, innovative, and creative people who are passionate about renewable energy. We are informal. non-hierarchical, inclusive, open, and collaborative. Locogen is a place where everyone can grow and develop supported by experienced people, doing innovative and interesting work.

We love what we do and believe in empowering and trusting each other to deliver. We learn from our experiences, take accountability, and hold others to account. We are client focused and inspire each other to do the best we can. We like a chat and value communication with each other and our clients. We are a social bunch so there is always something going on – we have regular organised socials and get togethers.


Some of our benefits:

  • Flexible working hours: core hours are 10am – 4pm - if you make up your weekly hours then we don’t mind how you manage your time.
  • 34 days holiday.
  • Ongoing professional and personal development opportunities – training, memberships, and educations costs covered.
  • Private Health insurance.
  • Life Assurance, Critical Illness, and Income Protection options.
  • Growth Shares Scheme.
  • Pension at 10% (5% employee/ employer contribution split). We are flexible on if employees want to opt out or contribute more of their salary.
  • Enhanced maternity and paternity policies.
  • Cycle to Work Scheme.
  • EV Car Scheme.
