Careers
A better way to practice ecology
Landas is building a team of ecological professionals focused on delivering high quality, planning grade work across development, infrastructure, renewables and advisory projects. The ecology sector in Ireland is under increasing pressure. Demand is growing, projects are becoming more complex, and the skills needed to deliver robust ecological advice are changing. We believe the answer is not simply to work harder. It is to build a better model.
Our model combines structured delivery, clear technical standards and technology enabled systems to reduce unnecessary administrative burden. This allows our team to focus on the work that matters most: ecological judgement, high quality assessment, clear reporting and real project outcomes.
If you are motivated by challenging work, structured thinking and real impact within the planning system, Landas offers a platform to develop your expertise and shape your career.
Hybrid working by default, flexibility built around outcomes, not presenteeism.
Clear progression pathways; structured development aligned with professional growth and responsibility.
Outcome based working, measured by quality, clarity and reliability, not hours at a desk.
Technology enabled delivery, systems and tools that remove unnecessary administrative burden, allowing our team to focus on high-value analysis and problem-solving.
Funded CPD and professional accreditation; continuous development is expected and supported.
Learn properly. Progress clearly.
The CIEEM capacity research highlights a clear challenge for the sector: many of the skills most needed in professional ecology are applied skills developed through structured practice, mentoring and real project experience.
Landas is being built around that reality.
We support our team through practical development in field skills, ecological assessment, policy and legislation, report writing, project management and client communication.
Our aim is to help people become confident, capable professionals who can produce proportionate, defensible and commercially grounded ecological advice.
Development at Landas includes:
• Structured onboarding
• Mentoring and technical review
• Field-based learning and survey exposure
• Report writing support
• CPD and CIEEM progression support
• Exposure to feasibility, planning, delivery and compliance stages
• Clear expectations around responsibility, quality and progression
Progression does not have to mean giving up ecology
Many ecologists want to progress without losing the technical work that brought them into the profession. We recognise that.
At Landas, we want to support different routes for different strengths.
Some people will want to become technical specialists, deepening their expertise in surveys, habitats, species, mitigation and monitoring. Others will want to develop through assessment, reporting, project delivery, client advice and leadership.
Both routes matter. Both add value. Both should be recognised.
Our career pathways will support progression through:
• Technical ecology and field specialism
• Assessment, reporting and planning advice
• Project delivery and client engagement
• Mentoring, leadership and team development
Working at Landas means being involved in:
Planning grade outputs
Work that directly supports planning decisions
Real project exposure
Involvement across feasibility, planning and delivery
Complex, varied projects
Across infrastructure, renewables and development
Direct client engagement
Opportunity to contribute meaningfully early
Who we're looking for
We are looking for motivated, capable professionals who want to deliver high quality ecological work in a structured and supportive environment.
• Strong technical grounding in ecology
• Clear communication and report writing skills
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Commercial awareness and understanding of project delivery
• Motivation to contribute to a growing, high performance consultancy
Experience level is less important than mindset and standards. We are especially interested in people who want to build their career in a consultancy where quality, structure, technical development and real project outcomes matter.
