At Cura Terrae, we believe in doing great work that makes a genuine difference for our clients, our environment, and our people. With over 30 years of experience and a strong legacy under our former name, Ecus, our Land and Nature division continues to lead the way in ecological consultancy across the UK.
With offices nationwide and our roots in the Outdoor City of Sheffield, we combine national reach with local insight to deliver sustainable, high-quality solutions. As we grow, we're looking for Consultant Ecologists to join our dynamic team.
Why join us?
Whether you're an experienced Ecologist ready for new challenges, or currently working as an Assistant Ecologist and looking to step up, this is a great opportunity to grow with a supportive, expert-led team.
We invest in people and technology to ensure our staff are empowered and equipped to thrive. From career development to flexible working and mentoring, we create an environment where talent can flourish.
You’ll work across a wide range of multi-disciplinary projects for respected long-term clients, with the support of Senior and Principal Ecologists. We’re proud of our collaborative culture and reputation for quality, and you’ll be a key part of that story.
The role
As a Consultant Ecologist, you’ll play an important role in project delivery—from survey design and fieldwork to protected species mitigation and client engagement. You’ll support Project Managers, contribute to key client meetings, and be a trusted representative of Cura Terrae’s expertise.
This is a perfect next step for someone ready to take on more responsibility while continuing to build their technical and professional skills.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone with a proactive, collaborative approach who enjoys sharing knowledge and delivering quality ecological work. You’ll ideally bring:
* Experience designing and delivering ecological surveys
* A good understanding of UK habitats and protected species
* A mitigation licence for at least one protected species (e.g., bats, GCN, dormice, barn owl)
* Confidence in conducting a range of species and habitat surveys
* A track record of contributing to reports and providing technical input
* Experience supporting others—through mentoring, training, or outreach
* A client-focused mindset and the ability to communicate clearly and effectively
What You’ll Get In Return
We’re committed to helping our people thrive, and that means more than just a job title. We offer:
* A supportive, inclusive working environment
* Tailored career progression and mentoring opportunities
* Access to the latest technology and tools
* A comprehensive benefits package
