Footprint Ecology Limited

Senior Ecologist

£33,000 to £38,000 pa FTE

We are seeking a senior person to work on nature conservation projects around the country. Footprint Ecology is a unique consultancy that advises and collaborates with non-commercial organisations to conserve and restore nature; we are based in one of the most biodiverse locations in the UK. We have a national profile and a large body of repeat clients, we do not work for developers.

The post will involve a portfolio of technical project work relating to land use planning, conservation land management, survey design and implementation, conservation policy, managing recreation impacts and strategic planning. The exact nature of the role will depend upon the expertise of the successful applicant but we do not usually require protected species surveys.

We are seeking someone who has previously worked for NGOs, local authorities, statutory agencies or who has undertaken consultancy work for these types of clients. The successful candidate will need to be familiar with the conservation sector and be highly professional with good people skills and proven ability in project management.

This post is advertised as a permanent, full-time, position, although applications for part-time work will be considered. It will involve working as part of a team that is based in Dorset, but which undertakes work across the UK. We are happy to consider applicants who are based outside Dorset, but we encourage a hybrid approach and would expect regular attendance at the office.
