Role - Senior Ecologist

This is a fantastic opportunity to work alongside landscape architects and environmental specialists on a diverse range of projects, from residential developments and new communities to green infrastructure and biodiversity enhancement schemes.
And the best bit? You'll be involved from the outset, rather than being called in at the eleventh hour to explain why somebody can't build a car park on top of a badger sett!
