Description
Are you looking for; a secure environment to work; work in the Northwest; wide range of
projects; highly trained, with no CPD limit; great work life balance; being a valued team
member; your opinion matters; to feel supported; flexibility & office & outside work?
Job Spec: Consultant Ecologist and/or a Senior Ecologist with a bat licence.
Contract type: Permanent/ Full time or Part time
Office Location: Preston, Lancashire
Consultant Ecologist Salary: £24k up to £30k dependent upon experience.
About You:
Essential Criteria – Consultant Ecologist:
Desirable criteria:
A degree qualification in a relevant subject;
For Senior Consultant Ecologist, we would expect many of the desirable attributes to be
achieved. Salary would also based upon proven experience.
About us:
Ecology Services Ltd are celebrating our 20th year of business. We are a small friendly
consultancy that is dedicated to specialising in ecology. We are based in the Northwest and 95%
of our work is regional.
We have a great Client base and many repeat clients that we have good working relationship
with, ranging from small schemes to large strategic schemes.
Our projects are highly diverse. In the last 12 months works have included botanical NVC
surveys, HRA assessments, Conditions Assessments, BNG large and small sites, River Conditions
Assessments, BREEAM, Bird Surveys including Barn owl inspections and surveys, Sand lizard
surveys, Natterjack surveys, Dormouse monitoring, Terrestrial invertebrate surveys, Water vole
survey, Otter surveys, Badger surveys, Bats (Inspections, (GLA/PFA), Activity surveys
(trees/buildings/structures), Habitat surveys and Road monitoring surveys, Great crested newts
surveys and eDNA and ECOW. Derogation licences utilise the full spectrum of options available
including District level Licensing, Organisational Licensing, Low Impact Licenses, Earned
Recognition Licenses and European Protected Species Licences. Water vole CL31 clearance works,
RAM's. and Habitat Management/Enhancement Plans. Not forgetting Preliminary Ecological
Appraisals (extended Phase 1 & UKHab) and Ecological Assessments and Invasive species
surveys/mitigation.
We have a highly experienced top end team to learn from that are passionate about ecology,
their skills compliment once another and we share our knowledge freely. All employees are
trained to a very high standard, through a mix of in-house and external training
courses/shadowing/conferences/events and volunteering. There is no limit on Career Professional
Development (CPD). Annual Appraisals are standard and we continually assess providing feedback
throughout the year and stretch employee's knowledge where ever possible.
After working in the industry for 23 years, it is apparent that Ecologists need a healthy work
life balance. Hours are 37.5 per week and we generally work 2 nights a week, usually dusk
surveys, as we are fully equipped with thermal and in-infrared night vision equipment. Dawns
are a very rare thing. Hours worked over 37.5 per week are accrued as toil, and during the
survey season hours are managed by employees and what works for them.
We have an office in Longton, near Preston, but staff are fully equipped to work from home.
Usually, employees that live some distance from the office work from home at least a couple of
days a week. We do find it easier to train people in the office, as they learn from listening
to questions and other employees' schemes.
In addition, to the above:
