Senior Ornithologist – Tetra Tech

As Tetra Tech builds on its demonstrable track record as one of the leading global environmental consultancies, we are seeking a talented senior ecologist with ornithology experience to join our national team.

With ambitions to grow our UK presence to emulate the success of the global business, we are looking for an experienced ornithologist to join our established network of over 95 ecologists with the energy to contribute to a diverse project portfolio.

We are looking for an ornithologist who has experience of projects across diverse sectors, with the confidence to liaise with clients and stakeholders and a desire to manage and mentor other members of the team.

Project management and the ability to deliver multiple projects to high client expectations within fixed deadlines is an essential requirement of the role.

Candidates keen to mentor junior staff are highly desirable, as well as those who are proactive at collaborating, have good financial awareness and can efficiently review technical reports.

A relevant degree or previous consultancy experience, full driving licence, membership of, or eligibility to join, CIEEM and a legal entitlement to work in the UK are essential for this role.

We encourage our ecologists to lead on projects that align with their technical skillset and expertise and will provide in‑house project management training and an array of technical training.

With an eye for detail and a desire to deliver to high standards, a key element of this role will be to provide support and feedback to colleagues on project deliverables, drawing on the knowledge of our technical experts to develop the best solutions.

Given the variety of projects we work on, the Senior Ornithologist would need to have strong field skills and ambitions to develop their technical skills in line with project requirements.

It would be beneficial if the individual has other skills and experience outside of ornithology too. We pride ourselves on our ability to offer professional ecology advice across a breadth of sectors including residential, defence, energy, government services and transport.

* Winter, passage and breeding bird surveys of wind farm sites in the North East and Scotland
* Winter bird surveys to support extensive Habitat Regulations works including nocturnal passage surveys
* Breeding bird surveys or large greenfield sites including Local Wildlife Sites


Benefits

* Multi‑award winning ecology team; recently winning CIEEM Large Consultancy of the Year and Large Scale Mitigation project in 2023.
* Over 95 permanent ecologists across 13 offices, working as one cohesive team.
* Flexible, hybrid working model with full support for office or remote arrangements.
* Cars or car allowances for every team member, including personal use.
* TOIL system to allow time management around personal needs and seasonal demands.
* Career frameworks and extensive internal and external training, mentoring from in‑house experts.

* Requirements to attend offices, events or sites as necessary to deliver the role.
