TheOpportunity

Natural Power continues to grow and we are looking for a well motivated enthusiastic Ecology Fieldworker, to join our ecology team. This is a position based predominantly in the field assisting the ecology team with carrying out ecological surveys and monitoring at wind, wave and tidal sites across the UK both onshore and offshore.

You will be responsible for carrying our ecological surveys which includes onshore and offshore bird surveys, water quality monitoring, vegetation/ habitat surveys, meteorological monitoring and mammal surveys.
