About This Role
As a Senior/Principal Ecologist at Ramboll, you'll join the Biodiversity and Ecosystems Global Service Line within the Environment and Health division, working on diverse projects from commercial/residential development to transport infrastructure and renewable energy. This role involves managing small to medium-scale projects while contributing to large-scale EIA projects, serving as the main point of contact with Ramboll clients and stakeholders. The position is impactful because you'll be directly contributing to sustainable development initiatives that align with global decarbonization goals while developing key skills in the environmental consultancy sector.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve coordinating with the ecology team leads on large-scale EIA projects while independently managing smaller ecological assessments. You could be conducting site evaluations for renewable energy projects, preparing ecological reports for transport infrastructure developments, and serving as the main point of contact for clients on commercial development projects. The remote nature of the role means you'll be collaborating virtually with global teams while contributing to Ramboll's mission of driving sustainable development across diverse sectors.
