On-Call Staff Biologist
We are seeking an On-Call Staff Biologist to provide flexible biological and environmental support across a range of field, laboratory, and technical assignments. This role is well suited to a motivated professional who can respond to short-notice requests, work effectively in changing conditions, and apply sound scientific judgement to environmental investigations, monitoring programmes, and resource management activities.
Responsibilities may include conducting field surveys and biological assessments; identifying plants, wildlife, habitats, and other ecological features; collecting, handling, and documenting samples; recording accurate field observations; and assisting with environmental impact assessments, compliance monitoring, restoration projects, and habitat management. You may also support water quality, vegetation, fisheries, wildlife, or other specialist surveys, depending on project requirements. The role involves preparing field notes, data sheets, photographs, maps, and technical summaries, as well as entering, reviewing, and analysing data using standard software and established procedures. You will be expected to follow approved health and safety, biosecurity, quality assurance, and environmental protocols at all times.
Applicants should have a degree or equivalent qualification in biology, ecology, environmental science, natural resources, or a related discipline, together with practical experience in field-based biological work. Knowledge of relevant survey methods, species identification, environmental legislation, and data management is desirable. Experience using GPS equipment, mapping or GIS software, spreadsheets, and standard field equipment would be advantageous. The successful candidate will be organised, adaptable, physically capable of working outdoors in varied weather and terrain, and comfortable working independently or as part of a multidisciplinary team. A valid driving licence, willingness to travel, and availability for occasional early starts, evenings, weekends, or short-notice assignments may be required. Strong written and verbal communication skills, careful attention to detail, and a commitment to professional and ethical standards are essential.
