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.

- 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
