Posted On: 20/01/2025
Opportunity:
Are you an experienced Ornithologist or Ecologist with an avian interest? Do you like the idea of working a 4-day week but being paid as if you've worked 5? If so, this newest vacancy shouldn't be ignored! Our client is looking to bring in a Senior Ecologist with an Ornithology focus to either of their Birmingham or Manchester offices. You'll be joining a competent team of Ecologists with a strong sense of community, all of which have the added benefit of a 3-day weekend every week. Your specialist knowledge with birds will help you lead on exciting projects and oversee a variety of key tasks.
Responsibility:
Your responsibilities will be focused around both standard ecological practices and your expertise regarding birds. This includes planning and leading a variety of ecological surveys, including extended phase 1 species surveys as well as both breeding and non-breeding bird surveys on larger working sites. As a senior ecologist, you will oversee key elements like PEAs, HRAs, EcIAs, and the implementation of mitigation strategies to ensure high-quality delivery to clients. This will involve mentoring junior consultants and graduate members of the ecology team, as well as acting as a point of contact for clients, LPAs, and statutory bodies while engaging in active business development to win new projects.
Requirements:
To be considered for this Senior Ecologist role, you will need to be an Ornithologist with experience carrying out breeding and non-breeding species surveys. Ideally, you will have 3-5 years of experience in an ecological consultancy environment, gaining a strong understanding of a range of survey and assessment techniques as well as the subsequent reports from the findings. Possession of protected species licenses and experience with areas such as UKHabs and BNG are particularly advantageous. You should also be a member of a relevant professional body and possess a full UK driver's license, with access to your own vehicle and a willingness to travel to sites as needed.
