We’re supporting a leading UK infrastructure business in the growth of their in-house Environmental Consultancy team. As part of this, they’re looking to appoint an Ecologist to help shape and deliver ecological services across a diverse range of nationally significant infrastructure projects.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a client-side role with responsibility from day one - advising internal design and construction teams, liaising with regulators, and playing a key role in how ecology is integrated into infrastructure delivery.

The Opportunity

You’ll join a small but growing team of environmental specialists, providing ecological input throughout the full project lifecycle - from early-stage design through to structural delivery. The workload spans multiple infrastructure sectors including highways, energy, and utilities.

You’ll deliver a mix of field-based and desk-based work: from ecological risk assessments and protected species surveys, to advising on Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), mitigation strategies, and engagement with local communities and regulators.

The Impact You’ll Make

You won’t just be delivering surveys - you’ll be shaping how some of the UK’s most critical infrastructure projects interact with the natural environment.

* Influence how ecological considerations are integrated at every stage of design and construction, ensuring nature is prioritised, not compromised.
* Lead on ecological assessments and field surveys that inform planning, permitting, and mitigation strategies.
* Drive Biodiversity Net Gain outcomes - from baseline assessments to developing creative enhancement plans with regulators and communities.
* Champion innovative tools like satellite-based habitat analysis to make assessments smarter and more efficient.
* Be a trusted advisor to engineers, designers, and project managers, helping embed sustainability into day-to-day decision-making.

What You’ll Bring

You’re someone who combines technical ecology skills with a passion for influencing real-world outcomes.

* Proven experience in habitat classification, protected species work, and ecological risk assessment - both in the field and behind the desk.
* Ability to engage and influence cross-functional teams, from designers to delivery leads and regulatory bodies.
* A practical mindset, ready to adapt advice to suit complex project needs without compromising ecological integrity.
* A desire to take ownership and see your work result in measurable environmental improvements.
* A full UK driving licence and the flexibility to work across sites, with hybrid office/home working.
