Job Description
About Avian Ecology
Avian Ecology is a growing ecological consultancy delivering complex infrastructure and land-use projects across the UK, with a strong and expanding portfolio in the renewables sector, including onshore wind and solar.
As we continue to expand, we are seeking an enthusiastic and detail-oriented Graduate Digital Ecologist to join our growing data team. This role will primarily focus on data management, data entry, quality assurance, and GIS support, ensuring that ecological data is accurately processed, maintained, and ready for analysis and reporting. You will play a key role in supporting our consultants by maintaining high standards of data integrity across a wide range of projects.
While the core of this position is office-based and digitally focused, there will be opportunities to gain practical field experience and develop an understanding of ecological survey methods. Fieldwork will form a smaller component of the role, offering valuable context to the data you manage rather than being a primary responsibility.
This position is ideally suited to a graduate with strong organisational skills, a keen eye for detail, and an interest in developing technical expertise in ecological data systems and GIS within a commercial consultancy environment.
Key Responsibilities & Tasks (including but not limited to the following):
- Digital entry and processing of field data
- Tracking of data entry requirements
- Quality assurance of data entered
- Assisting GIS team with data visualisation
- Geospatial data conversion and cleaning
- Produce monthly data reports as required

- Degree in Ecology or related discipline
- Excellent Attention to detail

- Knowledge of the ecology sector
- Experience working with Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
- Previous data management experience
- Proficient in MS Office – Outlook, Word, Excel
- Agile thinker and problem solver
If you are a motivated and organised graduate looking to begin your career in ecological consultancy through a technically focused and structured role, we would love to hear from you. Apply today to join the Avian Ecology team and contribute to our continued success.
