- ABOUT ASSYSTEM
Every day, our 6,500 switchers located in 12 countries (Europe, Middle East, Pacific Asia & Africa) connect their six thousand billion neurons to tackle the task of the century: switching to low-carbon energy.
To ensure a viable, efficient, and reliable energy future for all the UK government has made a pledge to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 and, as such, is pushing ahead with significant investment in nuclear and renewable energies.
Assystem, as a leading provider of project management, design & construction supervision services within the nuclear industry, has aligned its own strategy to support this switch to low-carbon energy, whilst also recognising transport and infrastructure systems to be a major factor in influencing the outcome of government policy.
By acquiring Schofield Lothian in 2021, Assystem reaffirmed their commitment to the UK's energy transition in combining strengths with a long-established provider of consultancy services to the transport and infrastructure sectors, through the delivery of sustainable performance improvements within four practice areas: Consents & Engagement; Commercial Management; Project Management; and Environment & Sustainability.
As a Consultant Ecologist, you will, in collaboration with ecology colleagues and other environmental disciplines, play a pivotal role in the delivery of ecological services.
Your role will include:
- Scoping and Project Management of a range of small to large scale projects.
- Planning and managing ecological surveys using various survey methods.
- Negotiating with statutory agencies, NGOs and other stakeholders.
- Writing and authoring a wide range of technical reports, including Biodiversity Net Gain and Ecological Impact Assessment.
- Building and maintaining relationships with existing and new clients.
- Preparation of tenders, and support business development activities.
