Ecologist, Cardiff, UK

We are currently seeking to recruit an Ecologist to supplement our in-house team in Penarth, near Cardiff.

Soltys Brewster Ecology is a progressive, independent ecological consultancy operating throughout Wales, England and Northern Ireland.  Working in close collaboration with Soltys Brewster Consulting Ltd, we provide ecological and landscape assessment services on a wide range of commercial, residential and infrastructure projects. 

We are looking for an ecologist with a minimum of 12 months experience of ecological consultancy in the UK gained through fixed term or seasonal survey work.

For this position, experience of protected species survey work (including bats & reptiles) along with practical application of standard Phase I Habitat survey techniques is essential.  The successful candidate will have a clear understanding of domestic wildlife legislation and experience of report writing. 

The post involves both office and field work, generally in the South Wales area but with the possibility of working throughout the UK dependent on project requirements. You will therefore need to hold a full UK driving licence and have access to your own vehicle.

This full-time role offers an exciting opportunity for career development as part of our close-knit, hard working team within a multi-disciplinary environment.  The successful candidate will receive a competitive salary linked to skills and experience (salary range £21 – £23,000) and will benefit from a tailored training package and employee matched contributions to our staff pension scheme.

Please apply in writing, with an accompanying CV to: enquiry@soltysbrewster.co.uk

Applications should be marked for the attention of Dr Matthew Watts, Ecology Director.
