About us
At Environment Bank, we’re working together to help restore natural habitats across England. With thousands of acres of new habitat creation already underway, our projects are delivering biodiversity gains and helping vital ecosystems to recover and flourish.
Our diverse team includes ecologists, land managers, habitat specialists, geospatial analysts, planning advisors, account managers, digital creatives, legal experts, and more.
From our site managers to our sales and marketing teams, everyone at Environment Bank is a champion for our values, working towards our goal of reversing biodiversity loss.
Environment Bank is a market-leading organisation in a sector that’s experiencing rapid growth. We’ve already built a highly skilled team of experts and we’re actively looking to expand our team in the coming months.
We’re incredibly proud of all we achieved so far and we’re still growing. If you'd like to be part of a driven organisation that's making a real difference, find your next role with the team at Environment Bank.
About the role
he Habitat Buildability Specialist sits within a multidiscipline design team and provides specialist habitat creation, enhancement, restoration and management input to ensure that off-site Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Habitat Bank proposals are technically robust, spatially coherent, and deliverable in principle.
The role focuses on supporting ecologists in the design team to ensure that proposed habitats designed can be realistically established and managed over the required 30-year period. The post supports the design of a wide range of habitats including woodland and scrub, species-rich grassland, wetlands, and associated infrastructure, with an emphasis on feasibility, buildability, risk reduction, and long-term performance at the design stage rather than on-site delivery.
Rather than leading the delivery of one or two specific habitat banks, the role will be regionally based and will support across multiple projects, providing technical input, reviewing designs, and supporting the development of habitat bank proposals and management approaches across the portfolio.
We are looking for a Habitat Buildability Specialist in the North and also the South.
