During his time as a Seasonal Ecologist, Charlie embraced the varied and fast-paced nature of the work. He found real enjoyment in surveying a broad range of protected species and refining his skills in identification and survey techniques. The uniquely dynamic rhythm of seasonal work – where each week brings fresh challenges – was something he not only adapted to but came to appreciate. The freedom to manage his own time and operate with a sense of independence added to the experience, allowing him to develop confidence and resilience in the field.
In stepping into his new role, Charlie is eager to immerse himself in the world of ecological mitigation. He’s particularly excited to broaden his understanding of how mitigation supports and safeguards protected species during development – an area he’s keen to explore in greater depth as he takes on new responsibilities.
Charlie also has a clear vision for his professional development. He hopes to begin working towards several protected species licences, starting with great crested newts and badgers. Looking ahead, he has ambitions to expand into more specialised areas with licences for species such as barn owls and otters, reflecting both his dedication to the field and his desire to keep progressing.
Above all, Charlie highlights the supportive and positive working environment at Brindle & Green as a major factor in his growth. The willingness of colleagues and mentors to share their time and expertise has created a workplace where he feels encouraged, valued, and able to thrive.
This November, members of the B&G team are getting involved in Movember, growing their moustaches and raising money to support an important cause.
