IS THIS YOU?

We are looking for an ecologist or molecular geneticist who has experience bringing their skills to industry. You love delivering scientific services, get a buzz out of innovation, and feel right at home managing the delivery of projects and building relationships with clients.

  • Perhaps you are working within an environmental consultancy and have always felt an itch towards the innovative tech options for clients.
     
  • Perhaps you have been working in a large organisation and would jump at the opportunity to join a small growing team doing cutting edge work. 
     
  • Or maybe you have the science background and the project management skills, but come from a bureaucracy where you’ve always felt like the square peg in the round hole. 

Whoever you are, if this role description gets you excited, we are equally excited to hear from you!
