About us:
Ecology Solutions is a leading consultancy specialising in ecology planning solutions, offering an extensive range of expertise to numerous and diverse high-profile clients within both the public and private sectors. As we prepare for the new survey season, we are seeking Seasonal Field Surveyors to join our team.
About the role:
Seasonal Field Surveyors play a vital role in delivering protected species surveys and translocation projects across the UK. This position offers hands-on experience working in the British countryside, providing an excellent opportunity to develop and refine key ecological survey techniques. While full training will be provided, candidates with previous experience, a valid CSCS card, or knowledge of local fauna will be at an advantage.
Due to the varied locations of our projects, we are open to applicants from all regions of England and Wales. However, a full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle are essential, as the role requires extensive travel, including long distances and evening work. Occasional travel to either the Worcestershire or Hertfordshire office will be necessary for training and collecting equipment.
This seasonal role will run from April to September/October, depending on weather conditions and survey suitability. We can offer flexibility with start and end dates to accommodate other commitments, such as university schedules. While we are ideally looking for candidates who can commit to full-time work, part-time applicants able to work at least three days per week will also be considered. The position offers a rate of £13 per hour, plus expenses, including a subsistence allowance and mileage reimbursement.
How to apply:
If you are interested in this exciting opportunity, please submit your CV and a covering letter outlining your interest in the role to kitty.obrien@ecologysolutions.co.uk.
Applications will be reviewed as received and successful candidates invited for either a telephone or online interview. Please clearly state in your application when you are available to start and where you are based.
No agencies, please.
