- Undertake analysis, evaluation, interpretation and presentation of ecological data
- Performing the role of an Ecological Clerk of Works on construction projects

In return you’ll get to work on key projects, and we’ll provide the support and development you need as you work towards gaining licences to work with different protected species.

**To be successful in this role you’ll have**:

- Experience of managing small ecology projects from inception through to construction
- Thorough understanding of UK survey methodology following relevant legislation, guidelines and best practice.
- Experience conducting preliminary ecological appraisals (PEA), protected species surveys and/or habitat surveys
- Report writing experience including PEA reports, Ecological Impact Assessments and protected species licences
- Have a degree in Ecology, Environmental or Earth Sciences or a related discipline
- CIEEM membership
- Protected species survey licence (desirable)
- ECoW experience
- Current and full driving licence and willing to travel to site
