Journey at MKO
Since starting with MKO, I have had the opportunity to travel all over Ireland and partake in mammal surveys, bat surveys, habitat surveys, invasive species surveys, and aquatic surveys.
Ellen Tuck, Ecologist
No two days are the same as an Environmental Scientist. There are so many opportunities within MKO where you can expand your knowledge and specialise in different areas.
Niamh McHugh, Environmental Scientist
Being surrounded by a large planning team and a range of multi-disciplinary teams opens you up to a multitude of knowledge and expertise. I have also enjoyed seeing new places all over Ireland when attending site visits.
