At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.
We have an exciting opportunity for a botanist/habitats specialist to join our award-winning ecology team in Birmingham.

Presently, we are engaged across a range of sectors and projects including transport, water, and energy for local, regional, and national clients including government agencies, local authorities, utilities, and energy companies.

3. Using your experience in botany to provide expert advice to clients (internal and external).
4. Leveraging your experience of national legislation to support Environmental Impact Assessment and Habitats Regulation Appraisals, etc.
