  • Strong field skills and understanding of ecological legislation

  • Excellent written and verbal communication

  • UK driving licence and willingness to travel

  • Membership or eligibility for CIEEM

Desirable:

  • Ornithological or botanical expertise

All applicants must have the Right to Work in the UK.


What’s in It for You

  • 25 days annual leave

  • Healthcare cash plan, enhanced pension, and life insurance

  • Paid professional memberships and training opportunities

  • Clothing allowance and performance rewards

  • Supportive, flexible, and inclusive work culture
