  • Support clients in ensuring compliance with Irish and EU environmental legislation.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate ecological considerations into engineering and infrastructure projects.
  • Assist in the design and implementation of ecological monitoring programmes.
  • Liaise with stakeholders, including regulatory authorities, NGOs, and local communities.

Requirements:

  • A degree in Ecology, Environmental Science, or a related discipline (a Master’s degree is advantageous).
  • Minimum of 3-5 years of relevant experience in ecological consultancy or a related field.
  • Strong knowledge of Irish and EU environmental legislation and policy.
  • Experience in conducting habitat surveys (e.g., using Fossitt habitat classification) and protected species surveys.

  • A full clean driving licence and willingness to travel for fieldwork.
