• Develop, monitor, and control project budgets and forecasts, collaborating with finance teams to ensure accurate invoicing and financial accountability.
• Create and maintain detailed project schedules tracking ecological fieldwork, survey delivery, and other key milestones.
• Oversee logistics and resource allocation for field surveys, ensuring compliance with licensing, health & safety, and operational standards.
• Drive improvements in project management processes, tools, and reporting systems to increase efficiency and delivery quality across GB projects.
• Work closely with ecology specialists and multidisciplinary teams to support smooth project execution and knowledge sharing.
• Maintain strong client relationships through proactive communication, expectation management, and identification of further business opportunities.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to junior team members on project management best practices.

• Effective communication and stakeholder management skills.
