1 month ago

Edinburgh, United Kingdom Space Intelligence Full time

We’re a fast-growing tech company headquartered in Edinburgh. We are on a mission to enable zero deforestation and degradation, and support mass forest restoration, by producing the highest quality nature data products. Our clients include major international companies (e.g. Apple), expert consultancies (e.g. The Biodiversity Consultancy), major NGOs (e.g. WCS and TNC), and many forest carbon project developers in tropical forest countries.

We are looking for a **Graduate Ecologist **to help support our technical delivery team. You’ll likely be a recent University graduate in Ecology, Geography, Environmental Science or a related field, looking for your first job. Despite being early in your career, you’ll be the kind of person looking forward to getting stuck in from day one.

**Role and Responsibilities**
- Undertaking ecological site assessments using datasets and literature reviews.
- Reviewing and validating land cover and forest carbon maps
- Performing statistical analysis of ecological field data, including forest inventory plot measurements
- Supporting our technical delivery team with report writing, and geospatial tasks to support report development (e.g. producing aesthetically pleasing charts and maps in QGIS, maybe using some R or Python as well)

**Profile/Experience**
- Degree in Ecology, Geography, Environmental Science or related discipline
- An understanding of applied ecology, particularly in the tropics
- Effective and enjoy working in a team, while also being self-motivated and directed
- Flexible, and excited to adapt to the needs of a growing business
- Enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, effective at prioritising long-term important and short-term urgent tasks

**Required**
- Experience with GIS for environmental issues (you might be able to show us a map you’ve made as part of your degree course using QGIS or ArcGIS)
- Comfortable using Google Suite software (Gmail, Calendar, GDocs, Gsheets etc)
- Ability to communicate effectively and clearly
- Be results-oriented, and able to focus on key tasks required to support the strategic objectives of the company

**Desirable**
- Experience in vegetation and biodiversity field techniques
- Knowledge of R and/or Python
- An interest working in a mission focussed company addressing climate change and biodiversity loss

**Working for Space Intelligence**

At Space Intelligence, we offer a competitive salary, 33 holiday days per year, a pension plan, as well as other benefits. We have a friendly, fun and supportive workplace, and we strongly value work-life balance. We are emphatically not a company with a long-hours culture, and we are family-friendly and support working flexible and part-time. We have a very active social committee who schedule a range of events including lunches, escape rooms, pub trips, crazy golf, bowling and much more. In addition, we have company and team away days.

We are also, proudly, a diverse, multicultural team: we’re 50/50 male/female and our employees come from 11 different countries.

As a member of our team, you will contribute to solving the climate crisis by ensuring others invest their Nature Based Solutions funds wisely and monitor projects to ensure they are successful. You will receive first-class training: you’ll very quickly become an expert in this field. We have a flat management structure and trusting culture: you’ll be line managed by one of our Senior Mapping Scientists but receive training/input from the whole team and quickly be given responsibilities to develop our core products.
