Job Summary

This role is for a passionate Ornithologist specializing in avifauna, eager to contribute to environmental protection and climate action within a well-established international environmental planning company. The successful candidate will primarily conduct independent ornithological field surveys, including song mapping and optical bird identification, across Germany. While the focus is on extensive field work, there's also potential to contribute to environmental reports, expert opinions (e.g., LBP, UVS, AFB), and GIS analyses during quieter field seasons. This position offers significant travel opportunities within Germany, with all associated costs covered, and the flexibility of working from a home office. It's an ideal fit for someone who loves working outdoors, wants to take on responsibility, and is keen on career growth in environmental consulting, particularly in the context of large-scale infrastructure projects like wind power, solar, and route planning.
