Gavia Environmental has been trading for nearly 15 years, and we have established a reputation with our clients as pragmatic, but highly professional environmental consultants. We provide a robust practical service, as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.

The UK’s energy generation and transmission systems are undergoing revolutionary change as we progress towards Net Zero. This includes a massive increase in the number of renewable energy developments plus a major upgrade in the country’s energy transmission networks. These developments combined with increasing recognition of the urgent need to protect and restore our peatland landscapes and other protected habitats requires a passionate new generation of environmental professionals to deliver.

At Gavia Environmental, we’re at the heart of these positive developments and this has led to a healthy future order book with several longer-term projects within the energy infrastructure and sectors. Therefore, we need passionate graduates and early-careers professionals to join our team and help us deliver a more environmentally sensitive future.

**Job intro**

We are currently seeking recent graduates to contribute to Gavia’s growing portfolio of renewable energy and linear infrastructure projects. As such we would like to employ two Graduate Ecological Consultant roles to help further expand the capacity of our Ecology team.

**Location**

We are seeking to recruit these roles to our Perth office.

- Have some knowledge and practical experience of ecological and habitat assessment field work techniques (such as from university field work or volunteering experience)
- Have some awareness of the environmental and planning legislation which underpins our work areas (e.g. Protected Species, Habitats Regulations, planning regulations (e.g. NPF4, Town & Country Planning Act)
- Have a full and valid driving licence
- Be willing to work towards appropriate professional membership (e.g. CIEEM, BES, IES, CIWEM or similar)

**Role responsibilities**

These roles will be based within our established Ecology team. The exact types of work you’ll undertake will depend on our exact project workload, but could include:

- Habitats assessment using Phase 1, NVC and UK Hab methods
- Breeding bird surveys
- Bat surveys (preliminary roost assessment, ground level tree surveys, emergence surveys, tree climbing roost inspections)
- Preliminary ecological assessments
- Ecological Impact Assessment chapters
- Protected species surveys
- Aquatic ecology surveys (Freshwater pearl mussel, electric-fishing, eDNA sampling)

There will also be opportunities to collaborate with our in house hydrologists, geologists, engineers and construction environmental advisors on a range of interesting projects and developments
