Job Description
Ecology Professionals
Consultant, Senior or Principal
South West England
£30-60k DOE
I am working with a small consultancy who are seeking to grow their South West office. With an existing small complement, this is an excellent opportunity for ecologists with a variety of experience to come on board and rapidly be taking a leading role and making decisions within the business.
Working broadly across sectors with some high profile projects as well as smaller endeavours, this is very much a role that steps away from the corporate and timesheet mentality.
With a flexible approach to working patterns and locations, this is very much a role you can mould to best suit your needs. This is a great opportunity for an experienced ecologist looking to take the next step in their career, working within a growing ecology consultancy that values autonomy, technical quality, and a balanced approach to work
Role and Responsibilities
• Lead and deliver ecology consultancy projects across the South, Midlands, and Home Counties
• Carry out Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEAs), habitat condition assessments, and Biodiversity Impact Assessments
• Undertake protected species surveys and priority species assessments
• Prepare tenders, Ecological Impact Assessments (EcIA), and technical reporting
• Design surveys and lead field teams across a variety of project types.
Required Skills and Experience
• Specialist expertise in one or more key ecological areas
• Degree or equivalent in ecology or a related field
• Membership of CIEEM (or working towards membership)
• GIS experience (QGIS or ArcGIS).
