* Excellent ID skills and experience with a range of survey types (including breeding bird, vantage point, and wintering bird surveys).
* Experience authoring ornithological impact assessments within EIAs and HRAs.
* Confident working independently and collaboratively across multi-disciplinary teams.
* Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel for fieldwork.
Why Join Us?
We offer a supportive, flexible environment where your work makes a difference. You'll benefit from:
