1. Policy & Advice Officer - Marine Ornithology, Scottish Natural Heritage
Battleby, Scotland
This is an exciting opportunity for an appropriately qualified and
experienced ornithologist to work in the rapidly expanding marine
renewable energy sector in Scotland and be directly involved in helping
Government achieve its targets for renewable energy generation.
The potential for marine renewable energy around Scotland’s coasts is
huge, and the climate change, social and economic benefits of utilising
this resource could be substantial. Scotland is pioneering wave and
tidal technologies and has a significant role to play in developing the
offshore wind industry across the UK. Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH)
strongly supports the development of marine renewable energy,
recognising the significant benefits it can deliver.
Our coasts and seas are of international importance for marine wildlife.
Our varied and intricate coastline is valued for its scenery, tourism,
for recreation and as the location for much of Scotland’s economic
activity. In developing the marine renewable energy sector we must take
full account of the social, economic and environmental costs of
development.
Our role is to offer advice, to Government and others, on the impacts of
renewable energy generation on the natural heritage and to steer
developments to those locations best able to accommodate them. We have a
statutory duty to comment on those applications which require EIA and to
protect and enhance the natural heritage. We also have a duty to ensure
compliance with EU nature conservation Directives, which provide strict
protection for certain habitats and species. These functions are
delivered, primarily, by our Marine Renewables Team, a small
multi-disciplinary group of advisers, whose work is focused upon this
sector.
In response to rapid growth in the marine renewables sector and
increased requirements for our advice, SNH wishes to recruit additional
expertise on marine ornithology. The post holder will be responsible for
providing scientific advice, developing guidance and managing research
on the potential impacts on bird life of marine renewable technologies,
and how these might best be mitigated, managed and monitored.
The Marine Renewables Team sits largely within the Coastal & Marine
Ecosystems Unit within SNH’s Policy and Advice Directorate. The post
holder will work closely with other specialists and Casework Advisers
within the Unit to provide sound and timely scientific advice in
response to consultations for marine renewables and related developments
affecting Scotland’s seas. He or she will represent SNH with industry
and government and upon technical working groups as appropriate. The
post-holder will also be expected to contribute to the wider work of the
Unit, inputting to PR, awareness raising and training initiatives as
relevant.
