By combining strategic thinking with technical expertise, we solve client challenges and create a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable world. We work in partnership with and advise many of the world’s leading companies to address ESG-business challenges in a way that fits their pace and unique objectives.

• Undertaking surveys for all common legally protected species and advise on and complete mitigation.
• Undertaking the role of Ecological Clerk of Works during the construction phase of works for projects.
• Data analysis and interpretation for inclusion within ecological reports.
• Mentor and support junior colleagues.
• Build and maintain effective working relationships at all levels within the business, with clients and their teams, subcontractors and other third parties (regulators, statutory consultees, etc.).

To be successful in this role, individuals must demonstrate:

• A bachelor’s degree in relevant subject, though relevant experience is equally valued.
• At least four years’ experience as a professional ecological consultant.
• Associate Member of CIEEM (or higher)and a willingness to work towards a higher level in time.
• Sound ecological field skills covering a range of protected species and habitats.
• A clear understanding of the legislative and planning policy framework as it relates to ecology and nature conservation.
• A Natural England survey licence (Level 1 or above).
• Knowledge of and experience of using the Defra Biodiversity Metric and UK Habitat Classification.
• The ability to write concise, high quality, technical reports in line with CIEEM guidelines.
• Excellent teamwork and communication skills.
• Full clean driving licence.
• A willingness to travel and to work away from home with occasional longer or unsociable hours.
• Experience of using GIS
• Knowledge of BREEAM 2018 assessments.
• BSBI FISC (Level 3 or above).
• CSCS Card.
