  • Prepare reports, including Biodiversity Appraisals, in-house research projects, and literature reviews of documentation and external guidance.
  • Stay up-to-date with current research, developments, and emerging issues in ecology, particularly within the UK Biodiversity Net Gain and Natural Capital context, applying this knowledge to inform decision-making processes.
  • Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior ecologists, overseeing their work and fostering their professional development.
