Provide authoritative advice on planning policy, protected species legislation, habitats regulations, and biodiversity net gain (BNG).
Oversee and quality‑review field survey design, interpretation of results, and mitigation strategies.
Ensure technical outputs meet ERM quality standards, best practice guidance, and client expectations.

Project & Commercial Management

Contribute to proposal development, including methodology writing, resourcing, pricing, and technical input to bids.

Represent ERM in technical meetings with regulators, statutory consultees, and stakeholders.
Provide pragmatic, solution‑focused advice to help clients navigate consenting and environmental risk.

People Leadership & Mentoring

Support capability development, knowledge sharing, and upskilling within the team.
Contribute to succession planning and talent development initiatives within CPD Ecology.

Quality, Governance & Continuous Improvement

Champion high standards of health, safety, and environmental performance.
Contribute to internal technical communities, guidance development, and innovation initiatives.
Support continuous improvement in ecology delivery efficiency and consistency.

Skills & Experience

Extensive experience delivering ecological consultancy services in Ireland and the UK.
Strong working knowledge of wildlife legislation, planning policy, and environmental consenting processes.
Proven experience leading ecology inputs to EIAs and large infrastructure projects.
Demonstrated ability to manage budgets, programmes, and client relationships.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Desirable

Membership of a relevant professional body (e.g. CIEEM) at an appropriate level.
Chartered Ecologist or working towards chartership.
Specialist expertise (e.g. ornithology, freshwater ecology, BNG, protected species licensing).
Experience working within multidisciplinary project teams.
Experience contributing to frameworks or long‑term client programmes.

Behaviours & Attributes

Credible senior technical authority with a collaborative mindset.
Commercially aware and delivery‑focused.
Calm and pragmatic under pressure.
Committed to developing people and building high‑performing teams.
Aligned with ERM values and purpose‑led consultancy.

Reporting & Interfaces
