SLR has an excellent opportunity for an experienced ecological professional to join our European team at SLR’s Technical Director grade. You will play a lead role in undertaking and delivering a range of projects across our business sectors, particularly including Power, Mining and Minerals, and Built Environment. This role presents an exciting opportunity to be responsible for the delivery of ecology inputs to a number of large and complex projects, which now represent an increasingly large proportion of our work.

We have a real passion for what we do and due to continued commercial success and a very healthy work book, we have fantastic opportunities for an experienced professional to become part of the SLR team.
The Role:

- Mentoring of more junior staff is also a key part of the role, as it is for all senior staff at SLR.
- Depending on skills and experience, and the specific goals of the successful candidate, the role may also include staff management and leading our work on particular ecological specialisms.
