• Ecological coordination and survey arrangements including survey logistics and access arrangements.
• Monitoring site activities and liaising with the project team to ensure surveys are completed as scheduled and in line with project requirements.
• Sound and video data analysis of data gathered during the surveys
• Report input for the bat surveys undertaken
• Occasional desk-based support for the wider ecology team involving preparation of reports and undertaking data searches.
