• Ecological 1st and 2nd tier checking
• Supporting to complete surveys if needed (if you're based locally)

What you'll need to succeed

• A degree in an environmental field
• Proven experience writing technical ecology reports
• Experience mentoring junior Ecologists
• Protected species licence holder (ideally)

What you'll get in return

• Fully remote working
• 22 days annual leave (plus 8 days for bank holidays)
• Your birthday off
• Staff social events
• License fees paid for
• Other benefits including pension etc.
