Ready to take your ECoW career somewhere it can actually grow?
Most Ecologists don’t scroll job boards looking for their next move – they wait for the right role to find them. If you’re reading this, chances are it just has.
We’ve welcomed 5 wonderful individuals to the team last year and due to ongoing succusses and long-term project wins, we’re continuing to grow sustainably.
At Naturally Compliant, we’re known for doing things properly. No box‑ticking. No “that’ll do.” We support clients across renewables, infrastructure, and land management with ecological expertise that genuinely shapes better outcomes. And now, we’re looking for an Ecological Clerk of Works (ECoW) who wants to be part of that.
This isn’t another churn‑and‑burn site role. It’s your chance to:
* Take ownership of your projects and build long-term, meaningful experience
* Access real training, mentoring, and support toward specialist licences and chartership
* Work across some of the most exciting ecological and environmental projects in the North of Scotland
What you’ll be doing
* Leading ecological audits and on-site environmental checks
* Delivering toolbox talks and guiding contractors with confidence
* Producing clear, accurate site reports, EMPs, and Species Protection Plans
* Balancing fieldwork, reporting, and stakeholder communication
* Working everywhere from remote wild landscapes to active construction sites
What we’re looking for
* 4+ years’ experience in ECoW work or ecological consultancy
* Degree in Ecology, Environmental Management, or a related discipline
* Solid understanding of Scottish/UK environmental legislation
* CIEEM membership (or working towards it – AEECoW is a bonus)
* Solid habitat and protected species knowledge
* Full UK driving licence & access to own vehicle (4x4/off‑road experience is a plus)
* Confident communicator with strong reporting and organisational skills
What’s in it for you
* Paid travel – no more unpaid dawn starts
* Investment in your development, training, and progression
* Hybrid working and flexible hours
* Generous holiday allowance + pension
* Support toward specialist licences and chartered status
* A genuinely healthy work-life balance
Why Naturally Compliant?
Because you’ll finally get the balance right: meaningful projects, real progression, and a team that values expertise over ego. You’ll be trusted, supported, and given the space to grow – without sacrificing the life you’ve built outside of work.
