We also offer flexible, agile, and hybrid working, enabling staff to tailor hours worked around core hours, and our family-friendly policies help balance the needs of professional and family life.
About the Role
You will have demonstrable experience in a range of different areas of ecological consultancy practice, and be able to lead and mentor others within the team.

- BSc Ecology, Biological Science, or equivalent (MSc desirable) and eligible for Qualifying or Associate level CIEEM membership
- Good theoretical grounding in ecology and environmental assessment and be able to demonstrate experience in a range of ecological survey techniques
- Botanical skills and experience of habitat surveys would be an advantage, along with specialist fauna surveys (bats, reptiles, amphibians, water voles, otters, birds, or invertebrates)
- Experience in project management duties, including planning and scheduling surveys, budget management, and client liaison
- Protected/notable species survey experience of relevance to Scotland
- Ornithological, botanical, terrestrial, or freshwater fauna surveys
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
We are committed to being an equal opportunities employer, and our expectations go beyond purely complying with legislation. Through our Regional DE&I Committees, Global Council, and Employee Networks, we foster an inclusive environment where all people, regardless of their background, can thrive.

We welcome applications from all individuals, regardless of their background, including those from groups that are currently underrepresented at SLR, such as LGBTQ+ people, ethnic minority groups, women, and people with visible or invisible disabilities, including those who are neurodivergent.
