With a focus on sustainable and environmentally responsible projects, the firm provides services such as ecological assessments, environmental impact assessments (EIA), habitat surveys, and landscape planning.

Serve as Project Director for Ecology and Ornithology projects across various development types.
Support the recording, auditing, and reporting of project and team performance metrics to the SMT, Technical Directors, Board Directors, HR & Finance, and Accounts teams, drawing on support from Technical/Board Directors as needed.
Take proactive steps to minimize risks and liabilities, with a focus on ensuring both personal and team health and safety by following Health & safety procedures and ISO 9001 Quality Management System requirements.

Ensure that project deliverables include precise, well-organized reports for baseline, advisory, compliance, licensing, and Ecological Impact Assessments, with high standards of written English and presentation quality.
Lead their marketing efforts, contributing to campaigns, press releases, website updates, and identifying relevant conferences, exhibitions, and clients to visit.
May be designated as Key Account Manager for high-value clients with whom strong relationships have been established.
Act as the primary point of contact in the management chain for designated staff within the Ecology Team, overseeing mentoring, workload management, and conducting annual Professional Development Reviews (PDRs) and objective-setting sessions.
