Description  

Join the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) and have a future that matters: Be proud; Be challenged; Be unique.

The MOD estate has been described as the finest estate for wildlife in the UK. It is large, diverse and rich in biodiversity. This is an exciting opportunity to lead part of the team that manages the estate and works with a diverse range of military users and stakeholders to ensure it continues to support national defence priorities.     

The Senior Ecologist will lead on ecology and natural environment issues across the MOD estate in Scotland and the north and east of England and other locations, including parts of the overseas estate as required.  The post will provide advice on developing and applying ecology policy, advocacy and assurance, including leading on ecology aspects of management plans and low flying. It will be directly involved in delivering high level casework, including acting as Competent Authority for Habitat Regulation Assessments. The post holder will also ensure a costed and prioritised programme of work is in place for managing Sites of Special Scientific Interest and a wider Conservation Stewardship Programme across the MOD estate in Scotland and the north and east of England. It will also co-ordinate national and regional ecology stakeholder engagement, as agreed with Principal ES&C.

Our team provides advice and guidance on forestry, public access and historic and natural environment matters relating to defence activities and estate management, development and disposals.  The team manages the MOD’s Conservation Stewardship Fund and Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) Improvement Programme. The team supports the development and delivery of Integrated Rural Management Plans (IRMPs) and other environmental management plans across the estate and provides independent assurance and reports performance on those matters related to the ES&C specialist subject areas.  The team also has oversight of the MOD’s Conservation Groups and produces the MOD’s Sanctuary Magazine and Award Ceremony. DIO is part of the Ministry of Defence (MOD). We play a vital role in supporting Defence by leading and managing the delivery of what the Armed Forces need to live, work, train and deploy on operations. Our people share the common goal of supporting our Armed Forces through management of the military estate.
