- At least 5 years relevant consultancy experience within a small/medium sized practice
- Excellent project management and communication skills
- Expertise with ecological assessment including PEA and EcIA
- Recognised areas of specialism combined with all round field skills
- Expertise with protected species work, including personal survey licences
- An enthusiastic, committed and dynamic approach
- Full or Associate membership of CIEEM
As a Principal Ecologist, you must have all of the above plus:
- Excellent client facing skills
- A proven ability to develop new work streams
- The ability to coach and develop junior staff
- Full membership of CIEEM and an active involvement in the Institute or other related organisations
In Brighton, we offer a fantastic working environment close to the town centre and railway stations. It’s a vibrant place and we welcome applications from passionate, highly motivated ecologists with an aptitude for consultancy work.
To apply, please send your CV and personal statement to brighton@csaenvironmental.co.uk, or to discuss the position informally, please call Clare Caudwell on 01273 573871.
