Overview / Responsibilities

Wood is seeking to recruit a talented and ambitious Assistant Consultant Ecologist to join our Bristol office. We offer an excellent salary package, including a company car for most ecologists, as well as a tailored training programme and great opportunities for career progression.

This is an opportunity to become part of a long established but still growing team of over 70 ecologists, delivering high quality services on projects in a variety of sectors, including transport; renewables; nuclear; other power; oil and gas; industry; waste, minerals; property and the public sector.

Role Requirements

Wood is looking for an individual with some knowledge/experience in carrying out baseline ecological surveys, ideally in a consultancy environment. The role would initially be for a 6-month period with a view to make permanent depending on workload.

You will work closely with other ecology team members and with colleagues in other technical disciplines, on a wide variety of projects. This will include helping to organise and deliver surveys and producing/contributing to baseline ecology reports within an agreed project programme and budget. The role is likely to require travel to locations across the south of England and Wales, in support of our busy Bristol and southern offices with occasional travel throughout the UK, dictated by project work.

Skills / Qualifications

You will:

  • Have good general flora and fauna species identification skills, and experience of assisting with a range of terrestrial ecology surveys to recognised standards, including bats, reptiles and ideally great crested newt.
  • Qualified to degree level or equivalent in ecology or a related environmental subject.
  • An MSc or PhD in a relevant subject would be beneficial.
  • Ability to work well within a team.
  • Reliability, flexibility, and a willingness to work unsociable hours and away on site when required.
  • Good communication and organisation skills.
  • A valid UK driving licence is essential for this role
