You will:

- Lead flora assessments, impact studies and ecological advice (fauna backgrounds also considered)
- Manage field programmes and reporting with autonomy
- Support clients through constraints, design implications and approval pathways
- Mentor and guide juniors day‑to‑day
- Work closely with the National Head of Ecology on project direction and quality




- Contribute to building the ecology capability and national profile
- Ideally hold BAM accreditation, or be motivated to attain it with full support

What You’ll Bring

- Proven Senior‑level ecological consulting experience
- Flora ecology background preferred; solid fauna profiles also welcomed
- BAM accreditation (or motivation to achieve it)
- Experience leading field programmes and reporting
- Confidence engaging with clients and guiding methodology
- Desire to step up, mentor and grow within a national function
