Supporting the technical authoring of aquatic ecological assessments: Scoping reports; Preliminary Ecological Assessments (PEA), Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA); Habitats Regulations Assessments (HRA); Water Framework Directive Assessments (WFDA); Marine Strategy Framework Directive Assessments; and Marine Conservation Zone / Marine Protected Area Assessments.
Providing aquatic inputs across all project lifecycles from bidding/ feasibility/optioneering, field survey planning / management / completion, detailed design and assessment.
Supporting preparation of licence applications including marine licences and flood risk activity permits.
Providing mentoring and support to less experienced members of the team.

What we will be looking for you to demonstrate…

The role requires excellent reporting and communications skills and the ability to work collaboratively within a team, seeking technical input from other disciplines to deliver carefully considered solutions and to produce high quality work. The required skills and qualifications include:

Professional experience (at least 2 years).
Relevant degree (BSc or MSc) in an aquatic discipline e.g. freshwater or marine biology.
Knowledge of UK and European legislation in relation to protected aquatic habitats and species, including knowledge of the HRA process.
