We are pleased to announce that Natasha Woest has joined our team as Principal Consultant. With a strong track record in ecological compliance and environmental management for renewable energy and infrastructure projects, Natasha brings valuable insight and capability to our growing consultancy.
From Science to Site: A Career Grounded in Ecology
Inspired by the belief that “Protecting the environment is not a cost, it’s an investment in the future,” Natasha made a career transition into ecology after earning a BSc in Wildlife and Practical Conservation and an MSc in Phylogenetics. Her hands-on work as a seasonal Ecological Clerk of Works (ECoW) during her studies laid the groundwork for a career focused on protected species surveys, particularly great crested newts (GCN) and bats.
Specialist Experience Across Sectors
Natasha began her full-time career on the major infrastructure West Cumbria Pipeline project, overseeing ecological monitoring and regulatory compliance. She later specialised in wind farm developments, where she spent more than seven years integrating best practices into construction projects, helping developers and contractors achieve high environmental standards.
A Natural Fit for Naturally Compliant
Natasha joins Naturally Compliant to support a shared commitment: providing expert environmental management from tender through to completion. Her approach aligns with our mission to deliver robust, sustainable outcomes across a diverse project portfolio. When asked about what attracted her to Naturally Compliant, Natasha shared, “I was drawn to Naturally Compliant because of their unwavering commitment to supporting clients throughout the entire project lifecycle, from the tender stage through to completion. Their approach resonates with my passion for enhancing construction-phase environmental management and support. Additionally, Naturally Compliant is at the forefront of promoting a system of construction-phase environmental roles and responsibilities that efficiently deliver environmental performance, reduce conflict, and improve retention rates within the sector.”
Strengthening Our Client Offering
Natasha’s appointment enhances our capacity to help clients navigate complex ecological regulations while maintaining a focus on compliance, quality, and long-term sustainability. Her wealth of experience strengthens our ability to deliver high-quality environmental management and sustainable solutions to a variety of projects.
We are excited to welcome Natasha to the Naturally Compliant team.
