Senior Ecologist

Senior Ecologist Job Overview

Our client is a major utilities and infrastructure organisation responsible for delivering and maintaining critical infrastructure across Wales and the South West.

Due to continued investment in major infrastructure projects, they are seeking an experienced Senior Ecologist to join their internal project team. This is a newly created position and represents an excellent opportunity for an ecologist to take ownership of ecology matters across several significant schemes.

The successful candidate will initially support two major high-pressure pipeline projects across South Wales, each extending approximately 50 kilometres through a variety of landscapes and environmentally sensitive areas. They will also provide ecological support across the wider network throughout Wales and the South West.

The role will involve advising engineering and project teams, ensuring environmental compliance and helping projects progress efficiently while meeting all ecological and regulatory requirements.

This is currently a standalone ecology position reporting directly to the engineering lead. However, there is potential for the successful candidate to help develop and grow an internal ecology team in the future.
