We have a national biodiversity team of over 80 Ecologists, and we are known for our wide-ranging and extensive technical expertise as well as our robust biodiversity assessments. Our services are in high demand and continue to grow on the back of new and exciting projects, including within the renewable energy, infrastructure, and resource sectors.

- Demonstrated examples of conducting complex spatial analyses to interpret and understand ecological patterns and relationships
- Experience as an Ecologist within the consulting sector will be highly regarded
- An ability to develop and maintain positive relationships with a range of stakeholders including clients, government agencies and fellow team members
- Strong verbal and written communication skills including experience in preparing and reviewing reports. Willingness to take responsibility for delivery of reports to final quality
