Our client is looking for an ambitious Senior Ecologist to join the established team.

The successful candidate will manage fee-earning production projects independently and as a team, support and mentor junior team members and maintain and develop existing and new client relationships.

You'll need to hold a degree or equivalent qualification in ecology, biology or similar and be a full member of CIEEM.

You will need to be able and willing to undertake long journeys to various sites in all weather conditions and occasionally travel and work away from home, staying overnight if required, which may require you to work unsociable hours. You will require a full UK driving licence for this role.
