Established in 1992, Middlemarch Environmental is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust. Collectively, the Wildlife Trusts are the largest voluntary nature and conservation organisation in the UK with over 850,000 members and 35,000 volunteers working to improve nature.
THE ROLE

As Ecological Project Officer you’ll spend most of your time out in the field assisting with all ecological elements of projects. Responsibilities will include:
- Completing baseline habitat and protected species surveys,
- Acting as Ecological Clerk of Works,
- Planning work schedules and client liaison,
- Data collection and reporting.
As a part of our team, you’ll be offered a competitive salary in line with your experience and skills, the potential for performance related rewards, company pension, and the opportunity for training and continued professional development.

SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
A background in either field-based ecology or environmental landscaping is essential, with a minimum of one years’ relevant experience.
