The role will suit a practical and motivated professional who enjoys working outdoors, collecting reliable data and contributing to evidence-led environmental projects.

You will plan and undertake field surveys, record species and habitat information, and assist with the assessment of ecological conditions. The position involves regular travel to varied sites, sometimes in remote locations, and may require early starts, evening work or overnight stays during seasonal survey periods.

Key responsibilities

  • Conduct flora, fauna, habitat and ecological surveys in accordance with relevant guidance and legislation.
  • Collect, manage and quality-check field data using standard recording methods, GPS equipment and digital databases.
  • Prepare clear field notes, survey reports, maps and supporting documentation.
  • Identify species where appropriate and escalate significant findings or potential ecological risks.
  • Support environmental impact assessments, mitigation planning and habitat management activities.
  • Maintain survey equipment and ensure all fieldwork is completed safely and professionally.
  • Work collaboratively with colleagues, contractors, landowners and other external stakeholders.

About you

You will have a degree or equivalent qualification in biology, ecology, environmental science or a related subject, together with practical experience of fieldwork and biological recording. A sound understanding of UK habitats, protected species and relevant environmental legislation is desirable.

Strong observational, organisational and written communication skills are essential. You should be confident working independently, managing competing priorities and producing accurate records to agreed deadlines. Experience with GIS, ecological survey software, species identification or statistical analysis would be advantageous.

A full driving licence, willingness to travel and the ability to work outdoors in varied weather and terrain are required. Appropriate training, development opportunities and the equipment necessary to carry out the role will be provided.
