Are you keen to use your expertise where you can make a difference managing and delivering marine biodiversity projects? Can you apply innovative thinking to defining and communicating approaches to problem solving? Do you want to work on projects that have sustainability and biodiversity as their focus?

If this sounds like you, or you’re curious to learn more, then this role could be the perfect opportunity. Join our Ecosystems Solutions team as our new Senior Marine Biologist and work with us to close the gap to a sustainable future.

Your new role

As our new Senior Marine Biologist, you will be key player in a team of biologists/ecologists working on a range of projects spanning several sectors. To succeed in this role you must have an appropriate marine biology post-graduate qualification and be a Member of Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management at the appropriate grade. We would particularly like to hear from you if you have experience of coastal and offshore bird ecology and/or assessing underwater noise impacts on mammals.

Your key responsibilities will be:

There is an interesting variety of work and opportunity to collaborate with colleagues in a variety of other environmental disciplines.
