Natural Power contributes to the evolution and growth of renewable power, creating a better environment for the future of our planet and the generations to come. We provide expert advice and specialist services, to support our clients in delivering safe, clean, reliable, and competitive low-carbon projects. If you’re looking for a job in the renewable energy industry, we could be just the place to advance your career.

We are now seeking to strengthen our Ecology & Hydrology team with an Assistant Environmental Consultant at our Glasgow or Stirling office.

We have an excellent opportunity for an Assistant Environmental Consultant to join our Ecology & Hydrology team which sits within our Consenting & Environment Department. The team are working on an exciting and diverse workload, of projects at various locations in the UK and Ireland, delivering high quality support for renewable energy projects at all phases.

We are a forward thinking, collaborative, dynamic and professional team who encourage individuals to maximise their potential. Though you would be set within the Ecology & Hydrology team, Natural Power also provides a range of different services, and collaborating with other teams is one of the benefits of life at Natural Power. Working with our construction team, offshore specialists, geospatial and modelling teams, among others, further adds to the variety of the work at Natural Power.

The role will involve:

• water quality monitoring;
• hydrology walkover surveys;
• peat depth surveys;
• survey logistics coordination;
• equipment maintenance; and
• report writing.

Opportunities for training and professional development are also provided.

In order to undertake surveys the role requires travel, working in remote locations on rough terrain and longer hours. However, longer hours worked outside of normal working hours can be taken back as time off in lieu for any overtime accrued.

This is a permanent, full-time role, working 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday.

We will offer an engaging, collaborative and fast-paced environment alongside an excellent benefits package, including generous annual leave, flexible working, employee assistance programme, personal insurances, health plans, gym membership contribution, discounts and salary sacrifice options.
