About this role

the company is seeking a full time Senior Ecologist to join our dedicated in-house Environmental team, on a full-time permanent basis.

Embracing new practices and technologies, you'll have demonstrable experience of using GIS or mapping software to interpret and analyse environmental data for surveys and reports. You'll use your excellent analytical and report-writing skills to produce accurate and timely reports. As an inspiring role model, you will enjoy encouraging others to develop.

Naturally, you will be field-based for a significant amount of your time, so you must be happy to work in all that the British weather has to offer Based in Hampshire and conducting field work across the southern region, the successful candidate must be flexible in their approach to work, have a full driving licence and be willing to travel.
