AMBS Ecology & Heritage is seeking individuals with experience in botany or a related field who are enthusiastic about fieldwork. 

Our work includes flora and fauna surveys, vegetation mapping, biodiversity monitoring, targeted threatened species surveys, ecological impact assessments, Biodiversity Assessment Methodology (BAM) reports and flora and fauna management plans. Most of our projects incorporate a fieldwork component and some of the work is seasonal.

Our work is undertaken across NSW in a variety of landscapes, ranging from cleared paddocks and construction sites to native bushland in offset areas. Our clients include environment managers, property managers, construction companies, mining companies, government agencies, research agencies and local Councils. 

We are seeking a range of candidates with a range of levels of experience, from senior to entry-level. The key criteria are:

• strong plant identification skills;
• experience in roles that include a fieldwork component;
• willingness to work in remote and regional areas for several days at a time, including outside normal hours, over weekends, and in adverse weather conditions;
• ability to use technology such as GPS, smart-phones, digital cameras, i-pads and laptop computers;
• commitment to meticulous recording of field data;
• strong understanding of, and commitment to, WH&S in the field;
• ability to deal with a range of clients, colleagues and regulatory authorities with professionalism and integrity;
• current driver’s licence.

Criteria that are not essential, but will be well-regarded, include a tertiary qualification in biology, bush regeneration or a related field and experience in the ecological consulting industry. 

Due to the seasonal nature of the work, there are multiple positions available for individuals interested in casual or contract work. 

You must have the right to work in Australia to be considered for this role.
