Job Description
Our client is an independent Environmental Consultancy delivering practical, science-led solutions across infrastructure and development. Following significant project wins, they are growing their ecology team and are open to speaking with ecologists from Ecologist through to Principal level.
You’ll join a well-established, highly respected team known for collaboration, technical quality and long tenure. The culture is open and supportive, with genuine autonomy and the opportunity to influence projects - and, at senior levels, help shape the direction of the ecology function as it continues to grow.
Depending on your experience, you’ll lead or support a diverse portfolio of ecological projects across infrastructure, highways and development schemes. From surveys and mitigation design through to project management, client engagement and mentoring junior colleagues, you’ll play a key role in delivering work to a high standard while balancing the realities of project delivery.
They are particularly keen to hear from ecologists with consultancy experience in construction or infrastructure environments, a strong understanding of wildlife legislation and protected species work, and - at senior levels - experience managing projects and supporting others’ development.
In return, you’ll receive a competitive salary aligned to level, 24 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, pension, paid professional membership, tailored development support, hybrid working, wellbeing initiatives and TOIL/overtime options.
For ecologists looking for a supportive team, meaningful project work and clear progression - whether stepping up or already operating at Principal level - this is an opportunity to grow with a consultancy entering its next phase.
