    Seasonal Assistant Ecologists - Exeter, United Kingdom - FPCR Environment and Design Limited

    Default job background
    Description

    Looking to begin a career in ecology?

    FPCR are hiring Seasonal Assistant Ecologists to help with the upcoming survey season, based out of our regional office in Exeter (South West). We would welcome applicants also based in Dorset and Bristol areas.

    We will be offering both full time contracts for those looking to get stuck into a rewarding new career, and casual-hours contracts for those who need more flexibility. We may also be offering limited opportunities to join permanently at the end of the season.

    This is an excellent opportunity for individuals to develop practical survey and mitigation skills for different species and habitats. Additionally, our friendly and busy office provides experience in technical report writing and data presentation. While we offer a mix of office-based and remote work, new assistants will initially be required to attend the office full-time to receive proper training and guidance from colleagues. The Assistant Ecologist role will primarily include fieldwork, but we aim to offer a diverse range of opportunities, such as project management, report preparation, and data processing.

    What is the job role?

    You will be predominantly out in the field, undertaking protected species surveys and habitat creation works. Full, on the job training will be provided, and training towards protected species licences can also be provided. As well as field work, there may be some opportunity to gain valuable office experience, including planning surveys and QGIS work.

    Please note that the nature of our work will require you to work outside of normal office hours. This includes field surveys for bats during evenings and early mornings. You will also be required to travel throughout the UK, mainly Southern England and Wales, with occasional overnight stays.

    What do we need from you?

    • Candidates must be well organised, with an enthusiastic and motivated attitude
    • A keen interest in ecology and conservation.
    • The ability to record field data reliably and accurately to a consistent and high standard
    • The ability to communicate well and work effectively as part of a team
    • Candidates should be familiar with wildlife legislation within the UK and ideally have a basic understanding of the planning system and planning policy guidance
    • A full driving licence and access to a vehicle is necessary and you must have, or be prepared to add, Business Use to your car insurance policy
    • Have, or be workings towards, a qualification in an environmental subject
    • You may also be proficient with software such as QGIS.
    • You may already have experience of undertaking UK habitat and/or protected species surveys
    • You have a good understanding of British native species, wildlife legislation and planning policy relating to ecology.
    • You may be a member of CIEEM.

    What would set you apart from the crowd?

    • You may also be proficient with software such as QGIS.
    • You may already have experience of undertaking UK habitat and/or protected species surveys
    • You have a good understanding of British native species, wildlife legislation and planning policy relating to ecology.
