We are looking for a passionate and driven Aviation Wildlife Consultant to join our Singapore headquarters, home to Southeast Asia’s largest wildlife management team. In this role, you’ll play a key part in developing innovative solutions to reduce human–wildlife conflicts at airports and beyond.

This is a unique opportunity to apply your expertise in ecology or zoology to real-world challenges with a meaningful impact on aviation safety, biodiversity, and sustainable development. Experience in training or capacity-building will be a strong advantage, as you’ll collaborate with and guide partners across both government and private sectors.

You’ll gain exposure to a wide range of projects spanning airport wildlife management and environmental initiatives, working not only locally but across different countries in the region. If you’re looking for a career that focuses on the practical application of ecology on an international stage—this is the role for you.

• Applying ecological modelling to support management decisions.
• Managing projects primarily focused on birds, but potentially covering other taxa.
• Supporting environmental monitoring, management, and advisory programmes.
• Collaborating with government and private partners, with opportunities for overseas travel.

Requirements:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Ecology, Zoology, Biology or a related field is required. Advanced qualifications such as a Master’s or PhD are highly regarded and will be considered a strong advantage.
• Proven ability to deliver impactful training sessions to international audiences.
• Proficiency in Excel and GIS software for collecting, managing and analysing fieldwork datasets.
• Keen interest in nature and wildlife, enjoys outdoor field work and interacting with people.
• Good interpersonal and writing skills, organization and time management skills (for a fast-paced environment).
• A self-starter and resourceful multitasker.
• Willing to work outside regular office hours for fieldwork.
• Willing to travel overseas for work.
• A driving license & familiarity with Southeast Asian fauna (especially avian) would be advantageous.
