Lead Wetland Delineator/Senior Biologist
Lead Wetland Delineator/Senior Biologist
We are seeking an experienced Lead Wetland Delineator/Senior Biologist to join a growing environmental team delivering high-quality ecological assessments and regulatory support across a varied portfolio of projects. This role will suit a confident field scientist with strong technical expertise, sound professional judgement and the ability to lead projects from initial scoping through to final reporting.
You will plan and undertake wetland and watercourse delineations, ecological surveys and habitat assessments in a range of environments. Working closely with project managers, engineers, planners, landowners and regulatory authorities, you will provide clear, practical advice that supports responsible development and effective environmental management.
Key responsibilities
- Lead wetland delineations, ecological constraints assessments and natural resource surveys.
- Identify and assess wetland indicators, hydrology, soils, vegetation communities and jurisdictional boundaries.
- Prepare technically robust reports, mapping, impact assessments, permit documentation and mitigation recommendations.
- Manage project programmes, budgets, field teams and subcontractors, ensuring work is delivered safely and efficiently.
- Review technical outputs and provide mentoring and quality assurance to less experienced biologists.
- Maintain accurate field records, photographs, data sets and spatial information using relevant software.
- Communicate findings confidently to clients, colleagues, regulators and other stakeholders.
About you
You will have a degree in ecology, biology, environmental science, natural resources or a related discipline, together with substantial professional experience in wetland delineation and ecological consultancy. Experience of leading field teams and producing regulatory submissions is essential. Familiarity with relevant wetland assessment methodologies, protected species legislation, planning requirements and environmental permitting processes would be highly advantageous.
Strong report-writing, organisation and communication skills are required, along with proficiency in GIS and standard field data-collection tools. You must be comfortable working outdoors in challenging conditions, travelling to project sites and managing competing priorities. A full driving licence and willingness to travel, including occasional overnight stays, are expected.
In return, you will have the opportunity to work on varied and meaningful environmental projects, develop your technical and leadership capabilities, and contribute to practical outcomes for wetlands and wider ecosystems.
