Experience of BNG and other metrics (e.g. Building with Nature), natural capital / environmental net gain studies, site and corporate biodiversity strategies, Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), International Finance Corporation’s Performance Standard 6, and nature-related policies would all be hugely beneficial due to the varied nature of the work being undertaken and emerging. Advising on restoration/enhancement of habitats, biodiversity design and integration of green infrastructure design and other nature-based solutions to secure biodiversity gain and strengthen climate change resilience measures.
Demonstrable specialism in a specific topic would be beneficial e.g. ornithology, HRA, BNG, aquatic ecology etc. Field survey work, such as Phase 1 Habitat/UKHab surveys (including condition scoring for BNG assessments and invasive species) and protected species surveys (e.g. bats, otter and badger). Experienced with protected species survey licences. An interest, or experience in, mentoring more junior staff to help them develop their own careers.
- A full driving licence is essential.
- Experience of having worked in the consulting industry previously, ideally with a broad range of ecological experience. Client-facing experience.
- A postgraduate qualification in a relevant discipline, such as an MSc in Ecological Consultancy, is advantageous but not essential. Membership of CIEEM, or equivalent professional body and seeking to work towards Chartership.
- Experience of having used ArcGIS software and using digital tools to deliver efficiency and innovation.
- Minimum of a bachelor’s degree in a relevant subject, such as Ecology, Zoology, Geography or Biology (or equivalent).
