JOB OPPORTUNITY: PLANT ECOLOGIST

INTRODUCTION & COMPANY OVERVIEW
Birch Ecology is an ecology and natural resources consulting firm based in Longmont, Colorado. Our team includes in-house experts in Plant Ecology, Wetlands, Restoration Ecology, Environmental Permitting, and Ecological Landscape Design. We are a small company that partners with multidisciplinary teams of engineers, soil scientists, hydrologists, wildlife biologists, geologists, landscape architects, planners and construction experts. This collaborative approach allows us to tackle a diversity of project types across our state. Birch Ecology has a team-focused approach, and we place a high value on career development and professional growth. We have a diversity of interesting and challenging projects with a growing client base. We are looking for talented plant ecologists with a strong foundation in Colorado’s ecology and plant identification, who value the opportunity to work at a small company with an energetic start-up atmosphere.

POSITION OVERVIEW
Birch Ecology is seeking a Plant Ecologist to join our growing team! This position will support our consulting group on a wide range of ecological assessment, restoration, and permitting projects in some of the most beautiful parts of Colorado. We take pride in the quality of our work and the relationships we build with our long-term clients. Our ideal candidate would have a blend of scientific knowledge, technical writing, creativity, people skills, and business savvy which would allow them to professionally represent Birch to our clients, associates, and agency personnel. We foster a supportive, learning environment and can train the right candidate who has a strong foundation of skills and traits.

We are seeking one or more entry- to mid-level ecologists, but we also welcome applications from more experienced candidates to help us find the best fit for our team. In February, we are relocating to a new office space in the Prospect area of Longmont. We will continue to offer hybrid work options but will primarily be based out of the office during the winter months. During the field season, much of our work is outdoors completing surveys and ecological restoration projects.
