Many of the RSK Biocensus Scotland-based team members got together at our Stirling office to share skills and experience on Friday 14th March, including a site visit to Flanders Moss National Nature Reserve – the largest lowland raised bog remaining in Europe.
RSK Biocensus recently significantly increased its capacity in Scotland when the ecologists from Caledonian Conservation joined the team. We took advantage of an excellent opportunity for the wider team in Scotland to get together as winter tails off and before the field season kicks off properly.
The weather couldn’t have been better, allowing demonstrations of terrestrial invertebrate and bryophyte survey techniques in the field, before going training with satellite devices to allow safe working on particularly remote sites lacking phone signal, which does occur frequently in Scotland, and is one of our specialisms. Safety is always the top priority at RSK Biocensus, and we’re also very keen to provide a range of training opportunities and support our employees to develop their careers.
With team members distributed throughout Scotland, it was also an excellent opportunity for colleagues to get to know each other better – while video calls are fantastic, there is nothing quite like being there with someone in person.
If you are interested in joining our team in Scotland, we have job opportunities at all levels at the moment – you can learn more about and apply for these here.
